Abstract
Analysis of the 2014 Umbrella Movement speaks to three strands of
academic literature: contentious politics and space, hybrid regimes and
democratization, and social movements in China and Hong Kong. Based
mostly on fieldwork conducted during the occupation, this book brings
together 14 experts who studied the Umbrella Movement from different
theoretical perspectives with different methodologies. The studies in the
book analyze the occupation as a spontaneous and emotional contentious
action, which made good use of public space and creative passion. They
also show how civil resistance was shaped and constrained by the hybrid
regime and situate the Hong Kong movement in a broader comparative
perspective in reference to past student movements in China and protests
in Taiwan and Macau.
