{"product_id":"negotiating-autonomy-in-greater-china-ray-yep-9788776941208","title":"Negotiating Autonomy in Greater China: Hong Kong and Its Sovereign Before and After 1997","description":"Local autonomy is a complex and often contentious issue in many countries, not least because the situation often involves a process of continuous (re)negotiation. Moreover, the actual power relationship is defined not only by legal permissibility but also by such other factors as varying political perceptions, economic interests, and previous encounters between the center and periphery. This volume demonstrates that Hong Kong is a good illustration of the intricacies of the dynamic relationship in a Chinese context. The territory has a long history of pursuing its own path, both in colonial times and since 1997. With essays spanning both periods, the volume offers an understanding of the mind-set and actions of both Beijing and Hong Kong in pursuing their goals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Yep\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8776941205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788776941208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nordic Institute of Asian Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Ray Yep","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450157019391,"sku":"9788776941208","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6fe7629-c1b2-49cf-bbee-f13a326c175c.jpg?v=1777266454","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/negotiating-autonomy-in-greater-china-ray-yep-9788776941208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
