'Mark's meticulous approach enables him to present an authoritative story. The author delves into the archives to give us insights into what the key actors at the time thought (or said they thought).'Tim Summers, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, International Affairs
'Decolonisation in the Age of Globalisation offers the most elaborate and meticulous reading of the negotiation process thus far ... The book, as Mark argues, is not just about Hong Kong's future and the negotiation process. It is also a window to understand how China and Britain saw themselves in the age of globalization.'
Ray Yep, University of Bristol, China Information
'As in his previous publications, Chi-kwan Mark offers a thorough and detailed study of the diplomatic and political issues he intends to address with a skillful handling of the declassified archives from different sources.'
Lui Tai Lok, Adjunct Research Chair Professor of Hong Kong Studies The Education University of Hong Kong, China Review
'...with its special attention to Hong Kong's 'long decolonisation', this is a book of choice for anyone interested in its recent past as much as its future. Overall, there is much to commend the author for in his mastery of archival sources touching on this subject'
Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong
'This is a timely book that explores the relationship between Margaret Thatcher's neo-liberal Britain and Deng Xiaoping's reformist China as each sought to manage the decolonisation of Hong Kong - a story that has been largely forgotten or deliberately distorted in relation to more recent events in Hong Kong.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
