| Abstract | The article features Macau which has always been an anomaly. Too small to be called anything but an "enclave", the Portuguese colony has been perched on the coast of the South China Sea for centuries, serving as entrepot and refuge and recreation spot for various factions. Currently known as a "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration", Macau is set for its handover to the mainland on 20th December of 1999. The reunification adds an interesting wrinkle to the region: Macau's Portuguese links confer most-favoured trading status with the European Union, an advantage which will continue post-handover. |
