Comment, en quelques décennies à peine, le régime chinois a-t-il réussi à subjuguer l'ancien territoire britannique? Ce serait grâce à un cadre institutionnel propice à appâter les élites économiques, à diviser l'opposition et à en réinterpréter les dispositions à son avantage que Pékin a pu soumettre Hong Kong à son joug. Recourant tantôt à l'ambiguïté stratégique et y allant tantôt de main ferme, Pékin a habilement exploité les failles du statut d'autonomie de Hong Kong et de sa feuille de route sur la démocratisation afin d'en atteindre les objectifs inverses : l'intégration et l'autocratisation. Dans ce processus, le régime a su utiliser la contestation comme un prétexte pour accélérer sa mainmise, une tendance qui s'est manifestée lors du soulèvement de 2019 et de l'imposition de la Loi sur la sécurité nationale, qui a constitué le coup de grâce dans le processus d'assujettissement de la ville. L'expérience hongkongaise constitue un signal d'alarme de ce qui pourrait se produire ailleurs, d'où l'importance d'y prêter une attention aiguë.

Extensive in scope and drawing on newly available evidence from multinational archives, this book reconsiders Sino-Indian border issues during the middle Cold War using multiple established analytical frameworks. It demonstrates how key countries perceived and engaged with the border conflict by aiding the two main participants morally and materially. Before, during, and after the 1962 Sino-Indian border war, multinational political actors pursued their foreign policy goals (e.g., trade, security, and prestige) concerning the frontier, and often tried to destabilize spheres of influence and bolster alliances. Therefore, this contest signified a variation of the Anglo-Russian Great Game in Asia during the nineteenth century, and the theater of operations encompassed not only the border itself, but also the Himalayan kingdoms, Tibet, and Burma. A reevaluation of the border conflict between India and China is necessary given current, ongoing clashes at their still unresolved border as well as the fact that these two countries now possess enhanced technology and weapons.

Half a million Hong Kong residents fled their homeland during the thirteen years before Hong Kong's reversion to China in 1997. Nearly half of those returned within the next several years. Filled with detailed, first-hand stories of nine Hong Kong families over nearly two decades, Hong Kong Movers and Stayers is a multifaceted yet intimate look at the forces behind Hong Kong families'successful, and failed, efforts at migration and settlement. Defining migration as a process, not a single act of leaving, Hong Kong Movers and Stayers provides an antidote to ethnocentric and simplistic theories by uncovering migration stories as they relate to social structures and social capital. The authors meld survey analysis, personal biography, and sociology and compare multiple families in order to give voice to the interplay of gender, age, and diverse family roles as motivating factors in migration.

The ingenious ways dilemmas are addressed in non-Western traditionsDilemmas explores some of the most pressing existential problems of our times, from climate change, political conflict, and social injustice, to balancing one's own needs against those of others. Pushing back against the tendency to think of dilemmas as clear-cut binary choices, renowned anthropologist Michael Jackson shows us some of the ingenious ways that dilemmas are addressed in non-Western thought and oral traditions, as well as in Western philosophy.Drawing on examples from myth, literature, and his extensive ethnographic fieldwork in West Africa and Aboriginal Australia, each of thirteen chapters examines a particular dilemma and how it is experienced, circumvented, or reimagined. From the struggles of the Aboriginal people of Central Australia for land rights to Walter Benjamin's harrowing journey across the Pyrenees as he fled German-occupied France in 1940; from the story of a suburban family in Aotearoa New Zealand adjusting to life in a commune to the dilemmas of migrants from the Global South trying to reconcile their search for a better life with their longing for home—Jackson interweaves philosophical reflections, insights from his anthropological fieldwork, and individual life stories.In striking a balance between our contradictory impulses to be both apart from and together with others, Jackson makes a case against identitarian essentialism, showing us how the oppositional thinking through which we often frame our contemporary dilemmas may be overcome.

In SARS Stories, Belinda Kong delves into the cultural archive of the 2003 SARS pandemic, examining Chinese-language creative works and social practices at the epicenters of the outbreak in China and Hong Kong. As the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted issues of anti-Asian racism and sinophobia, Kong traces how Chinese people navigated the SARS pandemic and created meaning amid crisis through cultures of epidemic expression. From sentimental romances and Cantopop songs to raunchy sex comedies and crowdsourced ghost tales, unexpected and minor genres and creators of Chinese popular culture highlight the resilience and humanity of those living through the pandemic. Rather than narrating pandemic life in terms of crisis and catastrophe, Kong argues that these works highlight Chinese practices of community, care, and love amid disease. She also highlights the persistence of orientalism in anglophone accounts of SARS index patients and global reporting on COVID-era China. Kong shows how the Chinese experiences of living with SARS can reshape global feelings toward pandemic social life and foster greater fellowship in the face of pandemics.

In The New Politics of Beijing–Hong Kong Relations, Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo looks at the diverging changes to the ideologies from both Beijing and Hong Kong, and the ideological conflicts as taken in the form of factional political struggles between 2012 to the present. This book examines the paternalistic authoritarianism that can be seen in Beijing's policy toward Hong Kong since the promulgation of the national security law in late June 2020. Lo analyzes the ideological shift from liberal nationalism to conservative nationalism in mainland China, which has taken place since late 2012. The increasingly radical localism in Hong Kong after 2014 transformed Beijing–Hong Kong relations into a conflict-ridden situation characterized by factional struggles. While the imposition of the national security law into Hong Kong since late June 2020 has stabilized the city politically, Beijing's policy toward Hong Kong is now guided by the principles of protecting its national security and maintaining economic pragmatism, with implications for Beijing's relations with Taipei in the coming years.

This volume brings together an international team of prominent scholars from a range of disciplines, with the aim of investigating the many facets of the Chinese Communist Party's 100-year trajectory. It combines a level of historical depth mostly found in single-authored monographs with the thematic and disciplinary breadth of an edited volume. This work stands out for its long-term and multiscale approach, offering complex and nuanced insights, eschewing any Party grand narrative, and unravelling underlying trends and logics, composed of adaption but also contradictions, resistance and sometimes setbacks, that may be overlooked when focusing on the short term.Rather than putting forward an overall argument about the nature of the Party, the many perspectives presented in this volume highlight the complex internal dynamics of the Party, the diversity of its roles in relation to the state, as well as in its interaction with society beyond the state. Our historical approach stresses impermanence beyond the apparent permanence of the Party's organisation and ideology while also bringing to light the recycling of past practices and strategies. Looking at the Party's evolution over time shows how its founding structures and objectives have had a long-lasting impact as well as how they have been tweaked and rearranged to adapt to the new economic and social environment the Party contributed to creating.

Par l'échelle de sa population, de son territoire et de son économie, la Chine est au cœur de la question du développement durable au xxie siècle : si celui-ci constitue un défi majeur pour la Chine, la Chine comporte elle-même diverses menaces pour la durabilité de la planète. À partir de multiples sources occidentales et chinoises, le présent ouvrage explore la question de la transition écologique dans toutes ses dimensions – environnementales, territoriales, économiques, sociales, sociétales, politiques et géopolitiques. Dans une approche prospective, il identifie également les mégatendances appelées à façonner le modèle de développement chinois d'ici à 2100 (croissance faible, changement climatique, effondrement de la population, vieillissement accéléré), et aborde les impacts de l'émergence de la Chine sur le reste de la planète. Ce livre mêle ainsi état des lieux de la recherche, analyse critique des données statistiques ou des discours, guide méthodologique, mais aussi mises en perspectives historiques, portraits de territoires, de personnes, d'animaux ou de végétaux. Proposant une fresque à la fois scientifique et vivante de la Chine actuelle et future, avec ses dynamiques et ses incertitudes, il incite à s'interroger sur la trajectoire et la destinée de la civilisation chinoise elle-même.

Teaching Accelerated and Corequisite Composition is the first book to compile on-the-ground advice and teaching strategies specifically curated for accelerated and corequisite writing courses. Trailblazers in the field from colleges across the United States—who developed a foundation for corequisites by facilitating equity and accessibility for marginalized students—speak to a range of topics and demographics, offering support for instructors and practical advice for improving student success. The book primarily explores accelerated composition through the lens of two-year colleges to answer a central question in the field: to what extent do educators need to alter two-year college curricular design? The contributors also delve into assessment, a crucial process for instructors and their students transitioning to accelerated learning; the key role that reading plays in the writing process; and noncognitive learning, an area of study that has been associated with accelerated learning since its inception. Together these thirteen chapters provide instructors with a strategic approach to teaching accelerated and corequisite composition. Teaching Accelerated and Corequisite Composition points toward a new way of approaching first-year composition: a method of instruction that fosters the growth and success of writers who were once considered underprepared for college writing and are now achieving unprecedented success.

The pandemic left disorder and crises in its wake everywhere it struck. Drawing on disciplines including public health, politics, and socioeconomics, this book tracks the spread of COVID-19 to weave a coherent picture that explains how scientists learnt about the virus, how authorities reacted around the world, and how different societies coped. Written by a leading team of public health, policy, and economics experts, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of various countries'responses to the onset of the pandemic, as well as suggestions to increase capacity and capability to fight future pandemics. The first part of the book provides an overview of global governance and international cooperation, economic and social consequences of the outbreak, and breakthroughs in mathematical modelling and COVID-19 vaccines. The second part of the book examines and compares specific countries and regions through the lens of good governance, social contract, and political trust. This book is essential for anyone seeking to learn from the impact of COVID-19, particularly professionals and policy-makers, as well as those with a general interest in governance and pandemics.

Is the West prepared for a world where power is shared with China? A world in which China asserts the same level of global leadership that the USA currently assumes? And can we learn to embrace Chinese political culture, as China learned to embrace ours?Here, one of the world's leading voices on China, Kerry Brown, takes us past the tired cliches and inside the Chinese leadership - as they lay out a roadmap for working in a world in which China shares dominance with the West.From how, and why, China as a dominant superpower has been inevitable for many years, to how the attempts to fight the old battles are over, Brown digs deeper into the problematic nature of China's current situation - its treatment of dissent, of Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and the severe limitations on its management of relations with other cultures and values. These issues impact the way the West sees China, China sees the West, and how both see themselves.There are obstacles to the West accepting a more prominent place for China in the world – but just because this will be a difficult process does not mean that it should not happen. As Kerry Brown writes: history is indeed ending, but not how the West thought it would.

Hong Kong was a key battlefield in Asia's cultural cold war. After 1948-1949, an influx of filmmakers, writers, and intellectuals from mainland China transformed British Hong Kong into a hub for mass entertainment and popular publications. While there was no organized movement for independence, largely because of its location directly next to Mao's China, Hong Kong was central in the cultural contest between Communist China, Nationalist Taiwan, and the United States. Hong Kong Media and Asia's Cold War discusses how China, Taiwan, and the U.S. fought to mobilize Hong Kong cinema and print media to sway ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia and across the world. Central to this propaganda and psychological warfare was the emigre media industry. This period was the “golden age” of Mandarin cinema and popular culture. Throughout the 1967 Riots and the 1970s, the emergence of a new, local-born generation challenged and reshaped the Cold War networks of émigré cultural production, contributing to the gradual decline of Hong Kong's cultural Cold War. Through untapped archival materials, contemporary sources, and numerous interviews with filmmakers, magazine editors, and student activists, Po-Shek Fu explores how global conflicts were localized and intertwined with myriad local historical experiences and cultural formation.

»Ein revolutionäres Buch« Sunday Times Frank Dikötter, der »Historiker des modernen Chinas«, hat das künftige Standardwerk zum Aufstieg Chinas zu der Supermacht des 21. Jahrhunderts vorgelegt. Eine mutige, facettenreiche Darstellung Chinas, das seine inneren Schwächen mit einer expansiven Wirtschafts- und Außenpolitik und aggressiven Maßnahmen in und außerhalb der Volksrepublik überdeckt. Frank Dikötter zeichnet den Weg Chinas zur Wirtschafts- und Weltmacht nach. Es handelt sich in der gesamten Geschichte um einen einzigartigen Aufstieg mit dem Ziel, der mächtigste und einflussreichste Staat der Welt zu werden. China aber ist ein Drache, der größer scheint, als er ist und weltweit Respekt erhalten will und daher nicht selten mit den Ängste vor seiner Größe spielt. Das Kernstück des Buchesbilden die Jahre des fulminanten Aufstiegs seit 1976, eine herausragende Darstellung, wie sie in den kommenden Jahren unter XI Jinping nicht mehr möglich sein wird, weil China zum Überwachungsstaat mutiert ist. China möchte sich abschotten, um seine Mängel zu kaschieren, dennoch autark werden und die Fäden der künftigen Welt- und Machtpolitik den USA aus den Händen nehmen. Dikötter stellt gleichhzeitig Stärken und Schwächen Chinas heraus – eine schonungslose Warnung vor der chinesischen Machtpolitik. Die eigentliche Weltmacht des 21. Jahrhunderts ist viel gefährlicher als bekannt, weil China seine Schwächen bewusst verschleiert. Ein Buch, das man heute lesen muss, um morgen nicht ähnliche Schrecken erleben zu müssen, wie derzeit mit Russland. »Der Historiker von China« Spectator »Ein pulsierender Bericht, der deutlich macht, wie wichtig es ist, unter die Oberfläche zu blicken, wenn es um irgendeine Periode oder Region in der Geschichte geht – aber vor allem um China.« Peter Frankopan, Times Literary Supplement

We have developed this volume, Deep Reading, Deep Learning, as a companion to our 2017 NCTE book, Deep Reading: Teaching Reading in the Writing Classroom, which received the CCCC Outstanding Book Award in 2019 for Best Edited Collection. In this volume we address a range of social, ethical, and pedagogical issues that have emerged as essential concerns for teachers of reading and writing, especially those related to identity, culture, and positionality. This new volume emphasizes the broad question of equity and social justice in the acquisition and practice of literacy, and the multifaceted lived reality of positionality related to race, class, gender, disability, and language as experienced by students in the classroom.

It is written from an objective, external viewpoint and paints a colourful and lively picture of Sanguinetti in a voice that could almost be his own. Using Sanguinetti's life experiences, the biographer touches on various historical events, including the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya and the 1957 riots in Hong Kong, and details the social and political problems of the times, such as lingering colonialism, class structure issues, and human rights violations, among others. These glimpses of history through Sanguinetti's eyes are accessible, thought-provoking, and truly representative of the man himself.Offering a well-rounded image of the eccentric subject, this book fulfils Sanguinetti's common response to questions about both his personal and professional life — “ more when I know you better”. It will undoubtedly be of interest to those who knew Sanguinetti as well as legal professionals, young barristers, and readers with an interest in post-war history in Gibraltar, Kenya, and especially Hong Kong.

The peaceful surrender of Hong Kong to China on the midnight of 30 June 1997 after almost one hundred and fifty-six years of colonial rule was unique in the annals of history. Rarely before had one power surrendered a rich prize to another. The credit for finding a solution to the peaceful reunification of Hong Kong, a capital enclave, with mainland China, a socialist country, through the formula of ‘one country, two systems'goes to Deng Xiaoping, China's most pragmatic leader. Deng, however, breathed his last before Hong Kong's merger with the mainland. This book attempts to encapsulate the history of Hong Kong ever since the territory was acquired by Great Britain through what the Chinese call ‘the unequal treaties', the evolution of the colonial administration in Hong Kong, its emergence as a commercial centre and financial hub, the protracted Sino-British negotiation leading to the signing of the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law, the democracy debate in Hong Kong, the ethnic Indians in Hong Kong and the pangs of transition.Print edition not for sale in South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Bhutan).

El Partido Comunista Chino (PCCh) es uno de los actores políticos más importantes de nuestro tiempo. Instituido el 23 de julio de 1921 con apenas poco más de medio centenar de personas, un siglo después registraba alrededor de 95 millones de integrantes, lo que lo convierte en el partido político más grande del mundo. El cumplimiento de cien años de existencia del partido se dio en un difícil contexto mundial. No obstante, el centenario del PCCh también atestiguó el ascenso de China como segunda potencia en el ámbito planetario. Estudiar a tan importante actor político es una tarea fundamental, no sólo para la academia estudiosa de China, sino incluso para tomadores de decisiones de empresas y gobiernos, pues relacionarse con China es lidiar con su partido gobernante. Para tal fin se elaboró este libro, el cual considera como punto de partida el legado intelectual de Romer Cornejo, gran especialista latinoamericano del sistema político chino y del PCCh. La obra analiza numerosos aspectos del partido —ideología, políticas, vínculos con empresas, género, dimensión internacional, propaganda—, de tal manera que se procura ofrecer un análisis integral y sólido sobre el Partido Comunista Chino a cien años de su fundación.
