In 2014, the Sunflower Movement in Taiwan grabbed international
attention as citizen protesters demanded the Taiwan government
withdraw its free-trade agreement with China. In that same year, in
Hong Kong, the Umbrella Movement sustained 79 days of
demonstrations, protests that demanded genuine universal suffrage
in electing Hong Kong's chief executive. It too, became an
international incident before it collapsed. Both of these
student-led movements featured large-scale and intense
participation and had deep and far-reaching consequences. But how
did two massive and disruptive protests take place in culturally
conservative societies? And how did the two "occupy"-style protests
against Chinese influences on local politics arrive at such
strikingly divergent results? Challenging Beijing's Mandate of
Heaven aims to make sense of the origins, processes, and outcomes
of these eventful protests in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Ming-sho Ho
compares the dynamics of the two movements, from the existing
networks of activists that preceded protest, to the perceived
threats that ignited the movements, to the government strategies
with which they contended, and to the nature of their coordination.
Moreover, he contextualizes these protests in a period of global
prominence for student, occupy, and anti-globalization protests and
situates them within social movement studies.
