在这篇文章中，我探讨了“教育”在当代香港跨国专业人才形成中的作用。大量工作致力于审议如何通过跨国资本家阶层的做法体现特定全球金融中心内的知识。然而，很少有研究人员讨论这种TNCC实际上是如何产生的。在这篇文章中，我强调了TNCC中的一个派别--“海外留学当地人”--的重要性，并描述了将他们联系在一起的共同认同感和相互认同感。根据2000至2003年间在香港和温哥华进行的实地调查，我展示了嵌入式和空间化的教育实践在创建TNCC过程中的重要性。特别是，我考察了学校/大学和家庭环境中灌输的作用，以及独特习惯的重要性，并得出结论，这些处于不同环境中的过程确实对培养一批专属的跨国专业人员至关重要。
In this article, I examine the role of ‘education’ in the formation of transnational professionals in contemporary Hong Kong. A significant body of work has been devoted to considering the ways in which knowledge within particular global financial centres is embodied through the practices of a transnational capitalist class (TNCC). Yet, very few researchers have discussed how this TNCC is actually created. In this article, I highlight the importance of one faction of the TNCC -‘overseas-educated locals’- and describe the sense of common identity and mutual recognition that binds them. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in Hong Kong and Vancouver between 2000 and 2003, I demonstrate the salience of embedded and spatialized practices of education in the creation of the TNCC. In particular, I look at the role of inculcation within a school/university and home environment, as well as the significance of a distinctive habitus, and conclude that these situated processes are indeed crucial to the development of an exclusive class of transnational professionals.
