Routledge Media, Social Mobilisation and Mass Protests in Post-colonial Hong Kong

Examine the dynamics of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement since 2003 through this comprehensive analysis of media, mobilisation and mass protests. This book investigates what motivated tens of thousands of citizens to take to the streets yearly, exploring the social and organisational foundations of the protest movement and how media shaped public discourse and protest formation. Using population surveys, protest onsite surveys and media content analysis, the author provides insight into how protesters understood their actions and the broader political environment during this critical period of Hong Kong's history.
