This book examines the complex legal and political significance of Taiwan's Sunflower and Hong Kong's Umbrella protest movements. The collection brings together some of Asia's leading experts to address the complex questions the movements posed as regards democracy, rule of law, authority, and freedom of speech. Exploring the legalities of such protests and establishing best practices is important for future movements. With this in mind, the authors talk about their subject matter from a comparative, international perspective.
