This volume examines the most spectacular struggle for democracy in
post-handover Hong Kong. Bringing together scholars with different
disciplinary focuses and comparative perspectives from mainland
China, Taiwan and Macau, one common thread that stitches the
chapters is the use of first-hand data collected through on-site
fieldwork. This study unearths how trajectories can create
favourable conditions for the spontaneous civil resistance despite
the absence of political opportunities and surveys the dynamics
through which the protestors, the regime and the wider public
responses differently to the prolonged contentious space. The
Umbrella Movement: Civil Resistance and Contentious Space in Hong
Kong offers an informed analysis of the political future of Hong
Kong and its relations with the authoritarian sovereignty as well
as sheds light on the methodological challenges and promises in
studying modern-day protests.
