Summary: Hong Kong's expanding export-import trade and importance as a capital market have made it one of the major economic centers of Asia, second only to Tokyo. Consequently, the reversion of this capitalist city to the People's Republic of China ten years from now will have serious ramifications for the Western 30 Fut 36 financial world. There is much speculation concerning the impact of communist control of the three principal factors which have contributed to Hong Kong's current standing: its political and social stability, economic reform, and the British legal system. LB This collection of essays by Chinese, Australian, and American experts provides a multidisciplinary analysis of the Hong Kong situation. The volume begins with an introduction to the subject, which provides historical background and a look at prospects for the future. Subsequent chapters identify the problems that may confront the city during the transition period, including the economic prospects following the take-over agreement, and the barriers to and prospects for consensus building in Hong Kong. Additional chapters treat the human rights dimension, and the extent to which this transítion will affect interaction between Hong Kong and its neighbors and trading partners. The final chapter looks at implications of the Hong Kong situation as a possible model for the future of Taiwan. The volume concludes with selected official documents from Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China, the United Kingdom, and the United States, followed by a comprehensive bibliography. This work provides answers to pressing questions regarding the impact of Hong Kong's reversion to the People's Republic of China and develops a frame- work for the analysis of future economic trends in Asia, It will be of value to scholars of economics and political science in Asia, executives of companies doing business with Oriental markets, and financial analysts concerned with Asia and the interplay between capitalist and communist systems of government.
