帝國夾縫中的香港
高馬可認為自鴉片戰爭後的一個世紀,香港的殖民地性質孕育了一批本地華裔商業精英。及至十九世紀末,殖民地政府視華裔商人為盟友,以發展香港為商業中心。兩者所以能連結起來,正因為他們都相信中國商機處處。華裔領袖和港英當局在共同關注的問題上均有合作,例如資本主義擴張,以及為陷入困境的中國提供政治和經濟方面的籌謀獻策等。這些華裔精英也在這殖民地架構中找到生意和商業上的機遇。他們利用香港的戰略地位把自己塑造成與內地商人不同的一個獨特社群。國族主義在香港帶有其本地特色。同時,通過為英國籌措軍費、接待訪港的英國皇室成員、出席大英帝國的貿易展覽,華裔精英有助香港成為大英帝國中活躍的一員。在《帝國夾縫中的香港...

大交流
在《大交流:伍秉鑑的怡和行與十九世紀的全球貿易》中,王迪安通過清代十三行行商伍秉鑑的視角,探討了廣州體制下的貿易網絡如何塑造現代商業世界。當時,伍秉鑑的貿易網絡和金融聯繫從中國延伸至印度、美國和英國。這一時期的中國商人往往被視為西方重商主義崛起與中國抑商傳統觀念的受害者,但伍秉鑑並非如此。他早在西方世界秩序確立前的跨國交流中,就成功地在自身商業利益與中國及西方同行的利益之間取得了複雜的平衡。當今的政治勢力不斷相互制衡,以西方為中心的世界體系越來越難以維持,國際商人動態需適應一個中國再次佔據舞台中心的新世界秩序。伍秉鑑的怡和行在十九世紀早期流動的背景下成功部署商業網絡,對我們來說仍然饒有啟示。
