This is a collection of 13 papers presented at a conference held at The Chinese University of Hong Kong to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies at the University. The book spotlights on three major themes of change and challenge faced by Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific region: economic globalization, political and social change, and regional patterns of transformation. It not only encourages a retrospective learning from past failures, but also tries to anticipate inviting and daunting challenges of a new century and millennium.

Y. M. Yeung is Professor of Geography, Director of the Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies and Head of Shaw College, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His wide-ranging research interests have recently focused on China's coastal cities, South China, globalization and Asian cities. He has published extensively and his recent works include Guangdong: Survey of a Province Undergoing Rapid Change (1994, 1998), Shanghai: Transformation and Modernization under China's Open Policy (1996), and Fujian: A Coastal Province in Transition and Transformation (2000), also published by The Chinese University Press.
