Media, Social Mobilisation and Mass Protests in Post-colonial Hong Kong (eBook, ePUB)

The Power of a Critical Event

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses why the Hong Kong protest movement emerged at a specific time, how it developed from a single protest into a series collective actions, and how effective it has been in changing government policy. It argues that the news media has been crucial - more so than political parties or the movement's organisers - in determining how the protests have developed, and it examines the possible connections between the 1 July protests in Hong Kong and the pro-democracy protests in China.
