Ecologies of Social Movements: Student Mobilization during the 1989 Prodemocracy Movement in Beijing.

Zhao, Dingxin

American Journal of Sociology, v103 n6 p1493-1529 May 1998

Interviews students who were involved with the 1989 Beijing student movement. Finds that the spatial concentration of students on Beijing university campuses nurtured many close-knit social networks and exposed students to environmental influences promoting social action; these conditions helped sustain the student movement and guided its choice of strategies.
