Shadow Exchanges along the New Silk Roads
The Political Economy of Border Checkpoints in Shadow Exchanges
This introductory article revisits cross-border shadow exchanges in a comparative perspective and reflects on their theoretical implications. It explores the diversities and complexities of shadow operations and critically examines the concept of informality that is commonly used to describe such non-state-sanctioned practices. It further underlines the key role played by checkpoint politics in border governance. Border checkpoints serve both as …
Organised Informality and Suitcase Trading in the Pearl River Delta Region
Suitcase trade is a common activity along state borders in Asia. Existing scholarship has often viewed such suitcase trade as locally embedded activities characterised by informality. This article contends that this perception underestimates the diversity and complexity of suitcase trade. This is illustrated with a case study of the Pearl River Delta region of southern China, where thousands of suitcase traders carry goods across the borders betw…
Variegated capitalism and varieties of modernity
In parallel to the controversies about multiple modernities, scholars have been debating the varieties of capitalist order that characterize a modern economy. The debate over the varieties of capitalism has major implications for our understanding of modernity. This is because capitalism is closely related to modernity. Despite the proliferation of debate and discussion on varieties of capitalism, the core of the debate remains firmly focused on …
The Heterodoxy of Governance under Decentralisation
This paper questions the categorisation of good/bad governance and argues that such a stylised conception fails to capture the ambivalence of responsibilities and accountabilities in a political system characterised by multiple layers of authorities. Using a case study of the tobacco monopoly in China, the paper shows the contradictory goals and outcomes in different modes of operation that defy a stylised categorisation. A vigorously enforced re…

Hong Kong's History
Rewriting Hong Kong's history from the bottom up, the chapters investigate vital, but hitherto obscured, aspects of the colony's rise. They cover the Chinese collaboration with the colonial regime, legal discrimination and intimidation, rural politics, social movements, government-business relations, industrial policy, flexible manufacturing and colonial historiography. Drawing together contributions from historians, sociologists and political sc…

The Legend of a Colony
Business Encirclement of Politics
Civil society and political liberalization in Taiwan
While student leaders in mainland China were still trying to escape from the purges after the 4 June 1989 crackdown, students in Taiwan, inspired by the student movement in Beijing, were using the same tactics of sit-ins and hunger strikes to press for political reform in Taiwan. But unlike their Beijing counterparts, students in Taiwan succeeded in pressing the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) to agree to hold a national conference to discuss the timetab…
