Since the 1997 reversion, Hong Kong Special Economic Region has been accumulating the experiences of the "One Country, Two Systems". This project is focused on the changes and continuities in the political, economic and social fields before and after the reversion.

Fieldworks were conducted in these areas Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, China, Singapore, India, the United States, Canada and Australia. This project consists of four parts. 1.the political consciousness of the Hong Kong Chinese residents (Hongkongese). 2. The economic environments related to Hong Kong. 3.

2. Hamashita and Iijima, Hokari are in charge of the changes of the economic environments. The data is not limited to the official one. Some are obtained directly from the fieldworks. Hamashita points a possibility of comparative studies between the overseas-Chinese network and overseas-Indian network. Iijima and Hokari clarify the expansion of Hong Kong networks through the epidemic peril and the introduction of Chinese Traditional Medicine. These two case studies are heavily related to the social environments.
3. Wakabayashi makes analysis on the Taiwan policy toward Hong Kong. Ai evaluates Hong Kong's uniqueness in the context of the commonwealth history. In addition, there are three case studies that provide comparative perspectives ; the 1967 Hong Kong riot and the Cultural Revolution (Nakatsu), the emergence of white colors in Republican Shanghai (Iwama) and the formation of Islamic identity in the Republican northwestern China (Yoshinaga).
