SUMMARY:Comparative identities and repertoires of contention among youth movements mobilizing amidst rising authoritarianism in South(East) Asia (1)
LOCATION:Classroom NT-115
DESCRIPTION:This panel seeks to compare, theorize and analyse contemporary 
 youth resistance movements in South and Southeast Asia. Since the Hong Kong
  uprising in the early 2010s, youth resistance movements against authoritar
 ian governments have sprung up in many parts of South, East and Southeast A
 sia including Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand and the Phili
 ppines. These regional shifts reflect a broader global trend of illiberal-c
 onservative populism that has been on the rise in many parts of the globe f
 rom the United States to Africa, Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. Acr
 oss Southeast Asia, this trend has intensified identity politics, marginali
 zed minority groups, reinforced ties between ruling elites and oligarchic n
 etworks, fueled executive aggrandizement, and contributed to hyper-national
 ism and growing economic inequality. Young people, particularly those belon
 ging to Generation Z, are reacting to widening socio-economic disparities, 
 persistent corruption, nepotism, and what many perceive as a growing discon
 nect between governments and the lived realities of their citizens.\nThese 
 movements have often been characterized as being innovative in their tactic
 s and inclusive in their demands in comparison to previous movements that w
 ere predominantly male, urban and student-led. The new generation of activi
 sts in the region has become known for taking an explicitly intersectional 
 perspective and drawing on transnational connections and symbols, including
  extensive use of social media as exemplified by the #MilkTeaAlliance. A cl
 oser look at individual youth resistance movements, however, reveals that t
 hey oppose a broad range of governmental structures, face different levels 
 of repression, and are constituted and organized in a variety of ways. More
 over, case studies reveal a significant level of within-movement variety, a
 s well as a more nuanced picture of young resisters than the caricature of 
 so-called ‘keyboard warriors’ with a limited, largely online repertoire of 
 contention.\nBased on, and moving beyond social movement theory and the stu
 dies of youth and civil society, this panel seeks to compare, theorize and 
 analyse contemporary youth resistance movements against authoritarian gover
 nments in the broad region of South, East and Southeast Asia. We are open t
 o paper submissions on individual case studies of youth movements (or the l
 ack thereof) against authoritarian governments that critically examine the 
 identities, goals and repertoires of these movements, as well as comparativ
 e and more theoretically oriented contributions.\nWe explicitly invite scho
 lars originating from the region of any academic level to contribute to thi
 s panel. Given the current composition, we welcome contributions from femal
 e presenters and on cases beyond the ones covered in existing contributions
  in particular (e.g. Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Hon
 g Kong).
