Decolonisation in the Age of Globalisation - Britain, China, and Hong Kong, 1979-89

Drawing extensively on the declassified British archives and Chinese sources, this book explores how Britain and China negotiated for Hong Kong''s future, and how Anglo-Chinese relations flourished after 1984. This original study argues that Thatcher was a pragmatic neoliberal, and the British diplomacy of ''educating'' China yielded mixed results.
