On December 20, 1999, the city of Macau became a Special Administrative Region of
China after nearly four hundred and fifty years of Portuguese administration. Drawing
extensively on Portuguese and other sources and on interviews with key participants,
this book examines the strategies and policies adopted by the Portuguese government
during the negotiations. The study sets these events within the larger context of
Portugal's retreat from empire, the British experience with Hong Kong, and changing
social and political conditions within Macau. A weak player on the international stage,
Portugal was still able to obtain concessions during the negotiations, notably in
the timing of the retrocession and continuing Portuguese nationality arrangements
for some Macau citizens. Yet the tendency of Portuguese leaders to use the Macau question
as a tool in their domestic political agendas hampered their ability to develop an
effective strategy and left China with the freedom to control the process of negotiation
