Ian Rowen publishes article in The Journal of Asian Studies Anonymous (not verified) Sun, 03/01/2015 - 20:50

Ian Rowen's article, "Inside Taiwan's Sunflower Movement: Twenty-Four Days in a Student-Occupied Parliament, and the Future of the Region", has been published in the February 2015 issue of The Journal of Asian Studies.

His article, based on participant-observation and interviews, is the first scholarly English-language account of the 2014 student-led occupation that, as he writes, "would last twenty-four days, spawn the biggest pro-democracy protest rally in the island’s history, reframe popular discourse about Taiwan’s political and social trajectory, precipitate the midterm electoral defeat of the ruling party, and prefigure unprecedented protest in nearby Hong Kong."
