The overseas Chinese democracy movement (OCDM) is one of the
world's longest-running and most difficult exile political
campaigns. This unique book is a rare and comprehensive account of
its trajectory since its beginnings in the early 1980s, examining
its shifting operational environment and the diversification of its
activities, as well as characterizing its distinctive features in
comparison to other exile movements. Chen Jie takes an empirical
approach to the history of the OCDM, drawing on extensive primary
sources and his own significant field research, including
interviews with major dissident figures. He explores the changing
roles of activists since the events of Tiananmen Square and the
movement's subsequent heyday, highlighting the diverse positions
occupied today as a result of internal division and evolving
geopolitical circumstances. Using the analytical framework of exile
politics, Chen also examines such issues as China's relationship
with Taiwan and the implications of the expanding global Chinese
diaspora. Academics and postgraduate students studying Chinese
politics and international relations, as well as those with an
interest in diaspora studies, will find this book invaluable. It
will also provide important understanding of Chinese exiles and
activists to government officials and those working in
international political foundations, funding bodies and human
rights organisations.
