As democratic forces continue to face serious setbacks in Hong Kong and Myanmar, we look at these two protest movements and the new mechanisms of protest and mobilization against a previously successful movement in Taiwan. What lessons can be drawn from Taiwan’s transformation to an uninterrupted and unfettered democracy?
Leading experts on Hong Kong, Myanmar and Taiwan will discuss comparative demographics of the popular movements, grassroots strategies, traditional and new social media, and political mobilization. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A.
The webinar begins at 8pm EDT on Monday / 8am in Taipei on Tuesday. Registered guests will receive an email with instructions for joining Webex prior to the event. Registration closes at 8pm EDT on June 27th, 24 hours before the event begins. Questions can be sent in advance to gsigur@gwu.edu with subject "Democracy in Action."
