This book investigates how technology and innovation policies in contemporary China are impacted by collaboration and conflicts between different classes and interests in a world economy, in which competitiveness is defined by the successful leverage of emerging technologies. Focusing on the actual processes and outcomes of technological upgrading in three dynamic sectors, the book presents an alternative approach to understanding China’s industrial upgrading strategies, by examining the ways in which the making and implementation of policies are shaped by political struggles between state actors and dominant capitalist interests in the context of global capitalism. In doing so, the book challenges influential institutionalist approaches as explanations of institutional change, positing instead a political economy framework grounded in social conflict theory to reveal how power relationships and politics are intrinsic to the evolution, form, and function of institutions. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of international political economy, development studies, globalisation and innovation, China and Chinese politics, and public policy.

This book examines the most recent outmigration waves from Hong Kong (HK), a city experiencing drastic social changes since 2019, the year when it witnessed a series of social protests.Structured in three parts, i.e., HK–UK in continuum and the new HK diaspora in the UK; The new HK diaspora beyond Europe; and Transforming population geographies in HK, the chapters in this book analyse the post-2019 migration that occurred in the midst of the city’s fast-changing socio-political condition. The contributors focus on migrants’ experiences of migration and settlement, and their integration efforts in the destinations. This book also explores the home-building processes and identity changes among HK immigrants, how migration policies are embedded in complex national and regional politics, and how this new wave of migration has impacted HK. It suggests that new HK migrant communities have resulted in the formation of distinctive HK diasporas and a “Global Hong Kong”. It shows how migration evolves in this age of globalisation and hypermobility, alongside global geopolitics and the changing social and political environment in Asia.A valuable contribution to the understanding of HK migration in particular and Asian migration in general, this book will be of interest to overseas Chinese studies, diaspora and migration studies, and Asian studies.
