Abstract

ABSTRACT Divining the future of development, not least of all of China, from Hong Kong has long been fraught. Taking up Jamie Peck’s call for ‘conjunctural theorizing’ that destabilizes idealizations of the state and market, through examples drawn from the Pearl River Delta, this paper explores how the colonial and contemporary accumulation of political power and financial capital by wealthy individuals, families and their corporations renders divisions between the two institutions superficial. It then considers the local and global geopolitical effects of Hong Kong’s transformation into an entrepôt for international trade and, more recently, offshore wealth – increasingly from Mainland China, a dynamic which will again reshape state–market relations. These reflections support Peck’s demonstration of the productive possibilities of starting rather than ending theory from cases such as Hong Kong.

谁的离岸?将香港从亚洲世界城市拯救到中国大湾区
长期以来,从香港预测整个中国的发展前景一直令人担忧。本文以杰米·佩克(Jamie Peck)对破坏国家和市场理想化的“联合理论”的呼吁为例,通过珠江三角洲的例子,探讨了富裕个人、家庭及其公司在殖民地和当代积累政治权力和金融资本如何使这两个机构之间的分歧变得肤浅。然后,它考虑了香港转变为国际贸易中心的本地和全球地缘政治影响,以及最近离岸财富——越来越多地来自中国大陆——这一动态将再次重塑国家与市场关系。这些思考支持了Peck从香港等案例中论证了开始而不是结束理论的生产可能性。
