Rezensionen

"This concise, articulate volume examines the economic sociology of this global city, analyzing recent changes in Hong Kong and responding to Euro-American examples that dominate global city debates...as a serious, accessible overview witha rich bibliography of Hong Kong (and wider) scholarship, the book enriches dialogues about this fascinating city and about globalization in general. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries." - G. W. McDonogh, CHOICE (June 2010)

"The concise handling of data and facts enable Chiu and Lui to swiftly articulate their case for Hong Kong and hence make their book a 'must read'." - Yannan Ding, Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven, Belgium; Local Economy 26(5)
