“…In the face of state repression, studying protest attitude during movement abeyance is not a novel approach and has been examined through different techniques such as interviews (e.g. Gade, 2019; Zihnioğlu, 2021) and surveys (e.g. Lee et al, 2020).…”

“…In a time of movement abeyance, some studies are interested in exploring protest attitude. For example, Gade (2019) adopted the Sunni resistance in Lebanon and found four trajectories of protest attitude, including abeyance, disengagement, co-optation and arena shift. Corrigall-Brown (2012) also identified four attitudes, namely persistence, transfer, abeyance and disengagement.…”

The Chinese government has imposed the National Security Law which has resulted in Hong Kong formally entering into a phase of movement abeyance. By analysing 3377 posts on LIHKG Internet forum, this article re-explores the online protest attitude during this movement abeyance. The findings indicate that content creators are more attentive in regard to criticizing the legislation and pro-Beijing figures, followed by seeking international support and calling for unity. Users are more ‘participative’ in calling for mutual destruction between the authorities and people, initiating mutual support and seeking emigration. This study provides new perspectives on the study of movement abeyance.

“…Using a nationally representative panel dataset that follows Americans from 1965until 1997, Corrigall-Brown (2012 proposed three ideal-type trajectories after mass protest: persistence in contentious politics over time, permanent disengagement, and individual abeyance, an intermediary trajectory when a person temporarily leaves contentious politics but returns to participation later in life. Similarly, Gade (2019) examined individual-level continuity pathways after state repression in a nondemocratic context based on her study of Sunni networks in Lebanon. She argued that movement fragmentation can happen when some activists are co-opted or look forward to arena shift of struggle, in addition to disengagement and contracted continuity (Gade 2019).…”

Between the Umbrella Movement in 2014 and the unprecedented mass protests in 2019, Hong Kong experienced a period of movement abeyance during which localism became a prominent political identification, notably among young people. Localism, defined as a reactive form of radicalism, was one pathway after a cycle of contention, alongside persistence with moderate claims and exhaustion, an affective process of detachment from contentious politics after mobilisation. However, the existing literature seldom explores individual attributes to these pathways during movement abeyance. Using survey data gathered from five local universities (N = 1,365), this study seeks to examine how cognitive appraisal of previous protest events, political emotions, and media use during abeyance predict radical and moderate political identifications among university students in Hong Kong. Youths with stronger devotion to the Umbrella Movement and negative emotions after it were more likely to identify as localists. However, youths with these attributes who perceived negative consequences of the Umbrella Movement showed a lower likelihood of being localists or pandemocrats. These results can elucidate the trajectories for radicalisation and exhaustion during post-Umbrella Movement abeyance.

“…An estimated 225,000 live in Tripoli's three municipalities -Tripoli, Mina, and Beddawi -where the cheap rents concentrate poverty in socio-religious enclaves with poor infrastructure, sewage, and water provision (Figure 1). Poverty and lack of public services create a market for political patronage, compounded by sectarian animosity and civil war grievances (Gade 2019). Tripoli's crumbling centre has become a poverty trap where the residents depend on political patronage to make up for the lack of state provisions, thereby increasing sectarian grievances and fuelling communal conflict.…”

Competitive clientelism in secondary cities: urban ecologies of resistance in Lebanon

This article analyses political and religious mobilisation in Sidon and Tripoli, both secondary cities struggling amidst deep social divisions, elite competition, and armed conflict during the contentious decade following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri . A central element in the sectarian and Islamic resurgence was discontent with the political and social decline of the Sunnis. The Syrian revolt magnified Sunni-Shia tensions and shifted the locus of contentious politics from the capital Beirut to secondary cities such as Tripoli and Sidon. In both cities, communal tensions spurred confrontations with the Army that were followed by closely contested municipal elections. By examining the urban ecologies of resistance, the article contributes to an understanding of how urban inequality, competitive clientelism, and Islamist (social) movements are intertwined and can explain why the political pathways and electoral outcomes differed and the implications for the understanding of religious-influenced politics. The city-level analysis testifies to the importance of contextual urban traits and political actors' agency in influencing the popular support for stateoriented social movements and sectarian parties and as determinants of their electoral fortunes.
