Rarely do acts of civil disobedience come in such grand fashion as
Taiwan's Sunflower Movement and Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement. The
two protests came in regions and jurisdictions that many have
underestimated as regards furthering notions of political speech,
democratisation, and testing the limits of authority. This book
breaks down these two movements and explores their complex legal
and political significance. The collection brings together some of
Asia's, and especially Taiwan and Hong Kong's, most prolific
writers, many of whom are internationally recognised experts in
their respective fields, to address the legal and political
significance of both movements, including the complex questions
they posed as regards democracy, rule of law, authority, and
freedom of speech. Given that occupational type protests have
become a prominent method for protesters to make their cases to
both citizens and governments, exploring the legalities of these
significant protests and establishing best practices will be
important to future movements, wherever they may transpire. With
this in mind, the book does not stop at implications for Taiwan and
Hong Kong, but talks about its subject matter from a comparative,
international perspective.
