Hong Kong in the World provides innovative insight into the role of Hong Kong — as a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China since 1997 — in the global context. This book looks into the institutional settings of Hong Kong in exercising its external relations policies, and specific bilateral relations with different political entities.Written as an introductory text, it is specially designed for undergraduate students interested in Chinese foreign policy, Hong Kong's external relations, and the para-diplomacy of sub-national units.
