This book provides a discussion of the general impact of WTO membership on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and addresses the political and economic impact on cross-Strait relations of common membership.The book begins with an introduction which analyzes the state of cross-Strait economic and political relations on the eve of dual accession to the WTO and briefly introduces the chapters which follow. The first chapter discusses the concessions made by both sides in their accession agreements and is followed by two chapters which describe the manner in which the Taiwan economy was reformed to achieve compliance as well as the specific, restrictive trade regime that was put into place to manage mainland trade. The next two chapters deal with the implications of that restrictive trade regime for the Taiwan economy in Asia and with the nature of the interactions between the two sides within the WTO. The final four chapters of the volume examine the impact of membership on four sectors of the economy: finance; agriculture; electronics and automobiles. There is a post-script which briefly covers developments since the chapters were completed.

The Quest for Gold is the first comprehensive record of sports in Hong Kong. It traces the practice of sport in Hong Kong dating back a century-and-a-half, when it was a pastime for foreign residents, and limited to a few clubs with access to grounds and pools. Some of the schools with their own sporting grounds and keen sports teachers encouraged students to participate in a range of games and join organized competitions. Sports for the wider population took off only after the Second World War with the formation of the Amateur Sports Federation of Hong Kong in 1949/50, recognized as an Olympic Committee in 1951. Many sports associations have since formed and joined the Amateur Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong (ASF&OC). In 1997, the "amateur" status of the ASF&OC was removed, a change that coincided with the retirement of Mr A. de O. Sales, president of the federation for 30 years. The Quest for Gold is a collection of articles on various aspects on the development of sports in Hong Kong during the 50-year history of the ASF&OC. Interspersed throughout are historical photographs, rare official documents, and personal anecdotes.The invaluable contributions of individuals and groups in Hong Kong to promote and participate in sports are all recounted here. This is the story of Hong Kong's quest for gold.
