O papel do movimento pró-democracia honconguês na relação China - Hong Kong

Abstract

This final paper discusses the performance of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong and its implications for the relations established between the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong and mainland China. Currently, after more than twenty years in which the region

has been under Chinese sovereignty, during which a series of disputes between the pro- democracy and pro-Beijing camps occurred, as well as successive large-scale social

demonstrations, as it occurred in 2019. Therefore, this research is justified due to the relevance of the problem analyzed, as well as the relevance of the actors involved in the global scenario. For its execution, the case study of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong is approached through a qualitative exploratory methodology, based on bibliographic and documental survey, aiming to investigate what is the role of the pro-democracy movement in the China-Hong Kong relationship. Hence, the research provided evidence that indicates the role of the pro-democracy movement as determinant for the formation and conduct of political trends in Hong Kong, and, consequently, in the way the region relates to mainland China.
