This article provided an analysis regarding the civil disobedience and very importantly, the strategies of civil society in German. Many civil society activities and particularly strategies have been analyzed in Western Europe, Middle East, the America and many other places. However, the strategy study has not been spread to Asia. Hong Kong protest is a hot debated political issue that lack enough analysis regarding the methodology. A good comparison could be draw between this article and the research.

This is an American lawyer's perspective on massive civil obedience cases during the 1960s with regard to civil rights. These civil rights are particularly associated with the African American issues. In this argument, the lawyer tried to separate the action of civil disobedience and civil rights issues, and claim that as a lawyer, he needs to be rational about these actions, and that it is his "duty to examine critically and test against proven principles any doctrine affecting the law which is as far reaching as civil disobedience." This technique or argument is shared with this research. The research will only look at the methodology of the Hong Kong protest, and take a "rational" point of view regarding the action itself, but focuses less on the issue (universal suffrage and democracy) itself. Similar to civil rights issues, the issue of democracy is also one with almost universal consent but differ in approaches with regard to how to achieve them.

Allen Chang provided a revisit of the famous Tiananmen Square Incident, and specifically focused on the conflicting specific numbers of the incidents: 1) number of number of casualties that resulted from the incident, 2) whether the
People’s Liberation Army (PLA) killed students inside the square (as opposed to only those blocking the army’s path on the main roads leading to the square).

This research article gives a category of collective incidents that is typically successful in China. Wage protest are relatively common and usually the government will grant the petition. The wage raise is actually really important to the state economy, and typically the Chinese government can easily feel more sympathetic with the protestors when it gets to the well-being of the citizens because of the nature of the government and the source of legitimacy of the government.

Notice that right after (same day) the first announcement about the decision was out, another announcement was published concerning the explanation of the decision, and the Chinese government modified the title and added "草案" (which means draft). This move showed the space to change about their decision, and the student's continuation of occupy central might not be a effective idea.

This valuable study provided a very similar case study of protests with regard to the Spanish Government’s decision to negotiate with ETA. Three category of emotion is associated with collective actions: anger, enthusiasm, and anxiety. Anger and enthusiasm account for a high percentage of variance in the attention to demonstrate. The study shows that anger leads to a negative response to the decision while enthusiasm leads to a positive response to the decision. In the case of Hong Kong Occupy Central, apparently anger is more present than any other emotion, and this is also a danger of producing more anger from the protestors. This creates a social conflict within the society.

This author is from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, which is a leading university in the student occupy central movement. It would be really interesting to see how this university and scholars from this university view students' self-esteems, and this article will provide insights in analyzing the dynamics of the protest vs. anti-protest mess.
