Explaining Public Participation in Anti-authoritarian Protests in Hong Kong
This article aims to identify the causes that underlie the mass participation in anti-authoritarian protests of Hong Kong in 2019. The research draws from the perceived performance approach and social learning approach and uses survey data to explain the mass participation. Four variables regarding perceived political performance, rather than perceived economic performance, are found to exert a causal effect on individuals’ decisions to participa…
Solidarity and Implications of a Leaderless Movement in Hong Kong
In 2019, what began in Hong Kong as a series of rallies against a proposal to permit extraditions to mainland China grew into a raft of anti-authoritarian protests and challenges to Beijing’s grip on the city. Given the gravest political crisis confronting Hong Kong in decades, this research investigates why the protests have lacked centralized leaders and why the solidarity among the peaceful and militant protesters has been immense. This articl…
The Umbrella Movement
Take Back Our Future
This book unveils the causes, processes, and implications of the 2014 seventy-nine-day occupation movement in Hong Kong known as the Umbrella Movement. The chapters ask, how and why had a world financial center known for its free-wheeling capitalism transformed into a hotbed of mass defiance and civic disobedience? The book argues that the Umbrella Movement was a response to China's internal colonization strategies—political disenfranchisement, e…

The essays presented here by a team of experts with deep local knowledge ask: how and why had a world financial center known for its free-wheeling capitalism transformed into a hotbed of mass defiance and civic disobedience? Take Back…
Explaining Support for Democracy in East Asia
Explaining Democratic Survival Globally (1946–2002)
Do parliamentary regimes outperform presidential ones in reducing democratic breakdown? Given the relatively higher breakdown rate of presidential regimes as compared to that of parliamentary regimes, which factors can explain the breakdown of presidential democracies? Using an original global dataset covering 85 countries from 1946 to 2002, this study shows presidential democracies are not intrinsically more likely to collapse than parliamentary…
Explaining mass support for democracy in Hong Kong
This article aims to identify the main causal factors that underlie the overall levels of mass support for democracy in Hong Kong in the light of two approaches of comparative politics. Using a common questionnaire in 2003, 2005, and 2008, analyses of their results reveal a more or less stable level of support by Hongkongers for democracy. Viewed from the perspective of a mass values approach, post-materialism and respect for authority are found …
Hong Kong’s Democrats Hold Their Own
In September 2008, pandemocrats retained the voters’ support during the Legislative Council election. Beijing’s interferences with the elections, though less blatant than those of 2004, unmistakably cast doubt on its sincerity to implement democracy in Hong Kong by 2020. In 2008, Beijing promoted a new wave of pro-Beijing professionals with a stronger and more independent image. The sudden rise and stunning electoral victories of the Social Democ…

Politics and Government in Hong Kong
The Legitimacy Problem and Democratic Reform in Hong Kong
On 1 July 2003, over half a million Hong Kong people staged a mass protest against the poor governance of the post-handover Hong Kong government. The grievances of the marchers quickly snowballed into a widely backed movement for democracy. The subsequent record-breaking support for pro-democratic candidates during the local elections held on 23 November 2003 unnerved Beijing over its possible loss of control over Hong Kong. Beijing swiftly shift…
Public support for democracy in hong kong
Hong Kong witnessed a large-scale public rally and extensive support for democracy in mid-2003. This article explains the support by means of variables extracted from cultural, instrumental and sociological approaches. Drawn from the cultural approach, 'post-materialistic activism' and low levels of 'respect for authority' are found to be most powerful in explaining mass support, among all explanatory variables. Since culture seldom changes overn…
Hong Kong's Tortuous Democratization
This book raises interesting questions about the process of democratization in Hong Kong. It asks why democracy has been so long delayed when Hong Kong's level of socio-economic development has become so high. It relates democratization in Hong Kong to wider studies of the democratization process elsewhere, and it supplements the received wisdom - that democracy was delayed because of colonial rule and by the opposition of China - with new thinki…
Origins of anti-partyism in Hong Kong
Weak labor movements and opposition parties
This research aims to unravel the causes of why Hong Kong and Singapore have failed to achieve high degrees of democracy amid recession. It focuses on how their labor movements and opposition parties have failed to capitalize on the current economic crises to act as key mobilizing agents to mobilize the public support for democratic breakthroughs. The weaknesses in labor unions and fragility of opposition parties account, in part, for their failu…
Governing Elites, External Events and Pro-democratic Opposition in Hong Kong (1986–2002)
While China has been the most important constraint on Hong Kong's democratization, another neglected constraint has been the limited mobilization power of the pro-democracy opposition in both civil and political society for most of the period from 1984 to 2002. The mobilization power of the pro-democracy opposition, mediated by their degree of internal unity and ability to capitalize on external political opportunities, affected its overall barga…
