Abstract

The case study presented in this chapter focuses on the relationships between two regions – capitalist Hong Kong and post- communist Pearl River Delta (PRD). Their development paths have been diverging and converging time and again during more than one and a half centuries, but have become increasingly integrated since the 1980s. Although Hong Kong returned to Chinese sovereignty with the handover in 1997, the city is still an independent economic entity, with its own currency, customs and immigration controls. The Hong Kong–PRD territory is, thus, a cross-border region that combines historically different trajectories and institutions (see Figure 7.1).
