Chan, Johannes, Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement, 103 6 2014 , pp. 571-580

Penovic, Tania; Sifris, Ronli, Expanding the feminisation dimension of international law: targeted anti-abortion protest as violence against women, 7 2 2018 , pp. 241-267

International law has expanded significantly to encompass abuse of women’s rights, as a result of pressure from international civil society. There is now strong support for recognising violence against women as a human right issue. But attempts by women’s groups to promote consensus on reproductive rights, especially the right to safe access to abortion, have met with strong opposition or conservative religious bodies at both an international and local level.  This article includes a case study of local direct action in Australia against access to abortion, and also a wider evaluation of the impact of anti-abortion protest groups on women’s rights. It also examines how far legislation to limit anti-abortion activism in designated areas is effective, and how far such legislation is consistent with international norms and feminised international laws.

Enikolopov, Reuben, Social Media and Protest Participation: Evidence from Russia, 28 4 , pp. smaller than 0

The article assesses the impact of the main Russian online social network, VK, on the likelihood of protest with a focus on 2011. It argues that increased use of the network did  have some impact on the likelihood of protest, but did so through simplifying coordination rather than increasing the availability of criticism of the regime. The authors also suggest that wider social use of the network actually increased support for the government.

Partaken, James, Listening to students about the Umbrella Movement of Hong Kong, 51 2 2017 , pp. 212-222

This article explores how activism in the protests influenced how students saw their role and their identity.

Partaken stresses the impact of the movement on the educational world of Hong Kong and also beyond its borders.
