Shiu Hing Lo

Organized crime has been on the rise in the Greater Chine region since the People's Republic opened up its economy and society in the mid-1980s. This book provides a detailed and comprehensive study of how the state at the central and local levels has responded to the changing patterns and activities of cross-border crime in Greater China.

Case Studies of Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao

The Politics of Cross-border Crime in Greater China

Ming K. Chan

"The Historical Dictionary of the Hong Kong SAR and the Macao SAR is divided into two parts, one for each region. Introductory information, such as the list of acronyms and maps, precedes both parts, but then separate chronologies, introductions, dictionaries, appendixes, and bibliographies are provided for both Hong Kong and Macao - providing an in-depth examination of both SARs. A photospread completes the volume."--Back Cover.

Historical Dictionary of the Hong Kong SAR and the Macao SAR

Images and Perceptions of the 'pro-China Hong Kong Elite'

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China is located on the southeastern coast of China, and the Macao SAR can be found off of China's southern coast. Both regions have recently been released from European colonial rule: Hong Kong from British control in 1997 and Macao from Portugal in 1999. As SARs, Hong Kong and Macao retain a high degree of autonomy, and they control all issues except those of state (e.g. diplomatic relations and national defense). The A to Z of the Hong Kong SAR and the Macao SAR includes maps, photographs, a list of acronyms, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, and events as well as political, economic and social background. However, unlike the rest of the series, all these sections are presented in duplicate: one for Hong Kong and one for Macao. The authoritative analysis and informative data presented clearly elucidate the unique situation of these two territories.
