Abstract

Kong and Cathay Pacific is closely linked to the history of the British empire, decolonization and the Cold War. Rather than oversimplifying the process with "globalization," it was the unpredictable ways in which changing global dynamics interacted with shifting regional geopolitics and domestic developments that turned Hong Kong into a global nexus and aviation hub. This book therefore makes important contributions to our understanding of history and will be of great interest to audiences within and beyond academia.
