Dieses Buch versammelt Beiträge von Aktivisten und Wissenschaftlern, die sich mit linken und dekolonialen Formen des Widerstands befassen, die in der aktuellen Ära der Proteste in Hongkong entstanden sind. Praktiken wie gewerkschaftliches Engagement, die Abschaffung der Polizei, der Kampf um Landrechte und andere radikale Ausdrucksformen der Selbstverwaltung werden vielleicht nicht explizit unter den Bannern der Linken und der Dekolonialität geführt. Wenn man sie jedoch in diesem Rahmen untersucht, lassen sich historische, transnationale und präfigurative Perspektiven aufzeigen, die helfen können, ihre Auswirkungen auf die politische Zukunft Hongkongs zu kontextualisieren und zu interpretieren. Diese Sammlung bietet nicht nur Einblicke in die lokalen Kämpfe in Hongkong, sondern auch in ihre Verflechtung mit globalen Bewegungen, da die Stadt weiterhin an der vordersten Front der internationalen Politik steht.

This book brings together writing from activists and scholars that examine leftist and decolonial forms of resistance that have emerged from Hong Kong's contemporary era of protests. Practices such as labor unionism, police abolition, land justice struggles, and other radical expressions of self-governance may not explicitly operate under the banners of leftism and decoloniality. Nevertheless, examining them within these frameworks uncovers historical, transnational, and prefigurative sightlines that can help to contextualize and interpret their impact for Hong Kong's political future. This collection offers insights not only into Hong Kong's local struggles, but their interconnectedness with global movements as the city remains on the frontlines of international politics.

As an experimental investigation, this study examines how retailer familiarity and dynamic pricing affect American and Japanese online consumer trust. The results show significantly different trust concepts. Generally, American online consumers have higher trust concepts and lower risk perceptions than Japanese online consumers do in online transactions. When a familiar online retailer offers dynamic pricing, American consumers have higher online shopping trust and increased purchase intention, whereas Japanese consumers negatively respond to dynamic pricing and there is a decrease in online shopping trust. However, when a less familiar online retailer offers dynamic pricing, both American and Japanese online shopping trust scores were decreased. Interestingly, American consumers have a lower online retailer trust in an unfamiliar online retailer's image than Japanese consumers do. As part of the mainstream research in the field of online communication, this study provides substantive theoretical knowledge on building online consumer trust, as well as a practical side concerning online consumer behavior.
