This panel presents findings from a forthcoming edited volume, Youth Activism i n Asia: A New Wave, examining the nature, drivers, and implications of this activism through original fieldwork and comparative analysis.\nThe panel i dentifies four distinctive features of contemporary youth mobilization: its relationship to regional democratic decline and authoritarian consolidatio n; participants’ deep engagement with new communication technologies and social media; the reinvigoration of transnational solidarity networks ( such as the “Milk Tea Alliance”); and an emphasis on intersectional and coa litional politics. These protests represent distinctively novel twenty-firs t century phenomena, marked by decentralized organization, online-offline i ntegration, and diverse identity-based movements—from feminist to LGBTQ+ to ethnic-minority causes.
