A new era in the democracy movement in Hong Kong began on July 1,
2003, when half a million people protested on the streets, and has
included the 2012 anti-National Education campaign, the 2014 Occupy
Central Movement and the rapid rise of localist groups. The new
democracy movement in Hong Kong is characterized by a diversity of
interest groups calling for political reform, policy change and the
territory's autonomy vis-a-vis the central government in Beijing.
These groups include lawyers, teachers, students, nativists,
workers, Catholics, human rights activists, environmental activists
and intellectuals. This book marks a new attempt at understanding
the activities of the various interest groups in their quest for
democratic participation, governmental responsiveness and openness.
They are utilizing new and unconventional modes of political
participation, such as the Occupy Central Movement, cross-class
mobilization, the use of technology and cyberspace, and human
rights activities with cross-boundary implications for China's
political development. The book will be useful to students,
researchers, officials, diplomats and journalists interested in the
political change of Hong Kong and the implications for mainland
China.
