Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract Portugal and the Settlement of the Macau Question, 1984- 1999: Pragmatism in International Negotiations This thesis examines the manner in which the Portuguese Government formulated and implemented its negotiating strategy for the settlement of the Macau question with the People’s Republic of China. The analysis is supported by theories of international negotiations. In addition to providing a detailed account of Portugal’s negotiating strategy, the study highlights the impact that the Sino-British negotiations on Hong Kong had on the Sino-Portuguese negotiations. It also argues that the Portuguese side was mostly reactive: for domestic reasons, a key objective was to ensure that Macau’s treatment was not worse than Hong Kong’s, and in particular to ensure that Macau’s transfer happened after Hong Kong. The thesis begins by examining the political background to the Macau question and the impact of the Hong Kong question on this. It then addresses the 1984- 1987 Sino-Portuguese negotiations, which resulted in the signature of the “Joint Declaration of the Government of the Portuguese Republic and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the Question of Macau”. Finally the thesis analyses important issues in the Sino-Portuguese negotiations during the 1988- 1999 transition period, which ended with the transfer of Portuguese administration of Macau to China. Two types of issue are considered which clearly demonstrate the tensions in the Sino-Portuguese relations and show the position of the Portuguese side during the transition period: routine matters which were present in every Joint Liaison Group meeting, namely the policies of localisation, and more delicate issues. This includes (1) the arguments over the applicability of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to Macau; (2) the dispute over the construction of the Macau International Airport; and, (3) the conflict over the Orient Foundation.

  • The International Legal Personality of Macao' 24 Hong Kong Law Journal 328-341
    ANALYSIS The International Legal Personality of Macau Introduction The question of international legal status/personality1 is increasingly difficult to answer with a degree of precision since the relevance of traditional criteria and symbols of statehood is diminishing in a global environment characterised by the proliferation of not-readily-definable entities which clamour for recog­ nition as autonomous political units.2 The requirements of 'a permanent population; a defined territory; govern­ ment; and capacity to enter into relations with other States'3 — which are accepted by international lawyers as 'customary international law' — by no means represent sufficient4 or even necessary3 qualifications of statehood. Clearly, the less legalistic symbols of statehood, such as kings/presidents, armies, central banks, currency, or passports, offer no reliable yardsticks.6 Nor for that matter is membership in the United Nations particularly instructive in respect of the key distinguishing attributes of statehood. Current members include Carribbean pinpoints such as Saint Christopher and Nevis or Saint Lucia, as well as other microentities like Vanuatu in the Pacific or San Marino in Europe — but not Taiwan.7 Neither is the UN practice with regards to admission — including the implementation of stipulated8 requirements 'International legal personality' is broadly defined in terms of the capacity to exercise international rights and duties.

  • Executive Summary Macau Became a Special Administrative Region
    Executive Summary Macau became a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China (PRC) on December 20, 1999. Macau's status, since reverting to Chinese sovereignty, is defined in the Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration (1987) and the Basic Law, Macau's constitution. Under the concept of “One Country, Two Systems” articulated in these documents, Macau enjoys a high degree of autonomy in economic matters, and its economic system is to remain unchanged for fifty years. The Government of Macau (GOM) maintains a transparent, non-discriminatory, and free-market economy. The GOM is committed to maintaining an investor-friendly environment. In 2002, the GOM ended a long-standing gaming monopoly, awarding two gaming concessions to consortia with U.S. interests. This opening has encouraged substantial U.S. investment in casinos and hotels, and has spurred exceptionally rapid economic growth over the last few years. Macau is today the undisputed gaming capital of the world, having surpassed Las Vegas in terms of gambling revenue in 2006. U.S. investment over the past decade is estimated to exceed US$10 billion. In addition to gaming, Macau is positioning itself to be a regional center for incentive travel, conventions, and tourism. The American business community in Macau has continued to grow. In 2007, business leaders founded the American Chamber of Commerce of Macau. 1.

At its 1476th and 1477th meetings, held on 4 April 1997, the Human Rights Committee considered the third periodic report of Portugal relating to Macau (CCPR/C/70/Add.9) and adopted 1 the following observations: A. Introduction 2. The Committee welcomes the presence of a high­level delegation, which included several officials of the Macau government. It expresses its appreciation to the representatives of the State party for the high quality of the report, abundance of additional information and detailed and frank answers provided in response to the oral and written questions posed and comments made by the Committee during its consideration of the report. The Committee notes with satisfaction that such information enabled it to engage in a highly constructive dialogue with the State party. B. Factors relating to reporting obligations under the Covenant 3. The Committee notes that given the late extension of the Covenant to Macau, the Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration and Exchange of Memoranda of 13 April 1987 does not refer to it and merely states that the laws currently in force in Macau will remain basically unchanged and that all rights and freedoms of the inhabitants and other persons in Macau, including the rights GE.97­16386 (E) CCPR/C/79/Add.77 page 2 of the person, freedoms of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of travel and movement, to strike, of choice of occupation, to undertake academic research, of religion and belief and of communication and the right t o own property will be ensured by law in the Macau Special Administrative Region.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • MACAU's BRIDGING Role BETWEEN CHINA and LATIN
    Sonia Chan Prado*1 UDC 327(510:8) 327(512.318:8) doi:10.5937/MegRev1901193C Expert article Received 9.4.2018. Approved 21.9.2018. Macau’S Bridging ROle between China and Latin America Since the beginning of the 21st century, sustained and rapid growth in relations between China and the Latin American and Caribbean countries has been witnessed. It is widely believed that a stronger tie with a promising future can be envisaged. Historically, Macau has been a Portuguese trading post in the Far East for over 442 years. After the Handover in 1999, Macau was officially returned to China as a Special Administrative Region. At present, Macau is the “world’s top gaming capital” and a part of the Greater Bay Area of national strategic importance in southern China. By capitalizing on her core strengths and special privileges, Macau can go much further, not only as a gaming and tourism city but also an effective and efficient platform between China and Latin America. Furthermore, with the new mega structure, the vast logistic network and the endorsed Greater Bay Area initiative, Macau can serve as an effective soft-power hub of the nation for helping build an extension of the “Belt and Road” to Latin America in the Pacific Rim. Keywords: Macau, Special Administrative Region of China, Greater Bay Area, Belt and Road, China-Latin America Relations 1. Introduction From the historical point of view, we can presume that contacts between Latin America and Asia have always existed, although mostly commercial ones, having in mind that Spanish and Portuguese empires kept expanding their colonial power and administration in the Philippines and the Pacific Rim.

  • Cultural Aspects of Sustainability Challenges of Island-Like Territories: Case Study of Macau, China
    Ecocycles 2016 Scientific journal of the European Ecocycles Society Ecocycles 1(2): 35-45 (2016) ISSN 2416-2140 DOI: 10.19040/ecocycles.v1i2.37 ARTICLE Cultural aspects of sustainability challenges of island-like territories: case study of Macau, China Ivan Zadori Faculty of Culture, Education and Regional Development, University of Pécs E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - Sustainability challenges and reactions are not new in the history of human communities but there is a substantial difference between the earlier periods and the present situation: in the earlier periods of human history sustainability depended on the geographic situation and natural resources, today the economic performance and competitiveness are determinative instead of the earlier factors. Economic, social and environmental situations that seem unsustainable could be manageable well if a given land or territory finds that market niche where it could operate successfully, could generate new diversification paths and could create products and services that are interesting and marketable for the outside world. This article is focusing on the sustainability challenges of Macau, China. The case study shows how this special, island-like territory tries to find balance between the economic, social and environmental processes, the management of the present cultural supply and the way that Macau creates new cultural products and services that could be competitive factors in the next years.

Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.
