is an empirical analysis of the city’s territorial identity politics. Placing the discussion firmly within comparative politics literature, this book endeavours to present the case study of Hong Kong’s territorial identity politics to both the local and international community.
The book empirically traces the historical-political development of the “Hongkongers” identity from 1841 to 2020, with a focus on its evolution into a “collective action frame” since the mid-2010s. Through a number of original data collection—telephone surveys, extended interviews, macro-organisational analysis, organisational surveys, and protest event analysis—this book empirically addresses the research questions of who, why, and how people protested. It guides readers to understand and interpret Hong Kong’s territorial identity politics in a comparative and theoretical way.
This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative politics. Experienced political researchers in Hong Kong will find this book illuminating; while comparative political scholars worldwide would also find it a handy introductory text to the critical case of Hong Kong. This book is also an excellent resource for instructors and students of Asian Studies, China Studies, and Hong Kong Studies.
