Chinas Influence and the Center-periphery Tug of War in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Indo-Pacific
Bringing together a team of cutting-edge researchers based in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Indo-Pacific countries, this book focuses on the tug of war between Chinas influence and forces of resistance in Hong Kong, Taiwan and selected countries in its surrounding jurisdictions.
Chinas influence has met growing defiance from citizens in Hong Kong and Taiwan who fear the extinction of their valued local identities. However, the book shows that resistance to Chinas influence is a global phenomenon, varying in motivation and intensity from region to region and country to country depending on the forms of Chinas influence and the balances of forces in each society. The book also advances a concentric center-periphery framework for comparing different forms of extra-jurisdictional Chinese influence mechanisms, ranging from economic, military and diplomatic influences to united front operations.
This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative politics, international relations, geopolitics, Chinese politics, Hong Kong-China relations, Taiwan and Asian politics.
