China, Hong Kong, and the Long 1970s: Global Perspectives, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017 Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series
This book explores the forces that impelled China, the world?s largest socialist state, to make massive changes in its domestic and international stance during the long 1970s. Fourteen distinguished scholars investigate the special, perhaps crucial part that the territory of Hong Kong played in encouraging and midwifing China?s relationship with the non-Communist world. The Long 1970s were the years when China moved dramatically and decisively toward much closer relations with the non-Communist world. In the late 1970s, China also embarked on major economic reforms, designed to win it great power status by the early twenty-first centuries. The volume addresses the long-term implications of China?s choices for the outcome of the Cold War and in steering the global international outlook toward free-market capitalism. Decisions made in the 1970s are key to understanding the nature and policies of the Chinese state today and the worldview of current Chinese leaders.
Explores the impact of the changes in China during the 1970s, both internally on domestic developments and also externally on international shifts of power within the broader global climate
Brings together an international team of scholars this volume expands the debate on the period of the 1970s and encourages the internationalization of the history of the later twentieth century
Integrates the study of Hong Kong into the history of China rather than treating this in isolation
