Abstract | Recent highly publicized incidences such as the protests related to environmental
issues and conservation of historical buildings/monuments (Queen's Pier), urban
re-development (Wan Chai Redevelopment), privatization of public asset (LINK), etc.
seem to demonstrate a new trend in social movements, which differ from the
traditional trade unions, grassroots, and political movements in Hong Kong. Such
movements are characterized by relatively loose organization and membership
structure but with substantial mobilization power. New communication medium
enabled by the internet are widely used to promote their causes, engage the public,
and mobilize supporters. Their members are usually younger and belong to a wider
socio-economic spectrum. These new organizations often form ac-hoc alliances
among themselves or with traditional movements for various causes. The issues
they addressed often related to a consciousness of the relationship between the actors
and their living environment instead of direct political, class or welfare
interests. This paper aims at understanding the formation, structure and mobilizing
strategies of these organization and look at its implications for the future development
of social movement in Hong Kong. |
