How Facebook Functions in a Social Movement: an Examination Using
Asian Journal for Public Opinion Research - ISSN 2288-6168 (Online) 268 Vol. 1 No. 4 August 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.15206/ajpor.2014.1.4.268 How Facebook Functions in a Social Movement: An Examination Using the Web Mining Approach Wenny Cao Angus Cheong Zizi Li eRS e-Research Lab, Macao Abstract Social media is becoming more and more important in social movements. This study, adopting the web mining approach, attempts to investigate how social media, Facebook in particular, functioned in the “May 25 Protest” and the “May 27 Protest”, two movements which broke out in Macao on 25 and 27 May 2014, respectively, against the Retirement Package Bill. In the two protests, Macao residents deployed Facebook to share information and motivated people’s participation. Twelve events (181,106 people invited) and 36 groups/pages (41,266 members) related on Facebook were examined. Results showed that the information flow on Facebook fluctuated in accordance with the event development in reality. Multiple patterns of manifestation, such as video of adopted news or songs, designed profile (protest icon), original ironic pictures, self- organized clubs by undergraduates and white T-shirts as a symbol, among others, appeared online and interacted with offline actions. It was also found that social media assisted the information diffusion and provided persuasive reasons for netizens to join the movement. Social media helped to expand movement influence in providing a platform for diversified performances for actions taken in a protest, which could express and develop core and consistent movement repertoire. Keywords: Social Media, Social Movement, Facebook, Macao Asian Journal for Public Opinion Research - ISSN 2288-6168 (Online) 269 Vol. -

Booming Macau
CHINA BOOMING MACAU ©Raphaël Fournier An advertisement for the Galaxy Casino. Macau is the Las Vegas of the East, the world’s gambling paradise Gambling in Macau generates in excess of 30 billion dollars a year In October the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge was opened. It is the world’s longest bridge The bridge will further increase the number of tourists, which in 2025 are due to reach record levels of 40 million Too many according to the authorities: the peninsula is small and it is necessary to introduce a maximum limit. But How? The Grand Lisboa Casino. Opened in 2006, it is owned by Stanley Ho, holder of the gambling licenses monopoly in Macau until 2002. A tourist in front of The Venetian Casino. The lights of the Grand Lisboa Casino. Chinese gamblers taking a break outside a casino. The tourist invasion of the gambler’s paradise The Las Vegas of the East, the gambling town par excellence, one of the richest places on the planet (it is due to overtake Qatar in 2020) – it is, of course, Macau. The former Portuguese colony was returned to Chinese control in 1999, but with one particularity: it is the only place in China where gambling and casinos are legal. Macau – known by the Chinese as Aomén – is famous for two things: money (it is a tax haven) and the tourists attracted by the roulette, poker and slot machines. Here one in five inhabitants works in a casino and more than 70% of government revenues is derived from gambling, an activity that brings wealth (in excess of 30 billion dollars a year) and that in 2018 alone attracted almost 36 million visitors to Macau. -

How Can We Make the Government to Be Accountable? a Case Study of Macao Special Administrative Region
How can we make the government to be accountable? A Case Study of Macao Special Administrative Region Eilo YU Wing-yat and Ada LEI Hio-leng Department of Government and Public Administration University of Macau Introduction Accountability, which refers to the answerability and responsibility of government officials, is generally considered essential to the achievement of good governance (Moncrieff, 1998). However, the operationalization of accountability is an unresolved issue. In other words, the question of how we make officials truly answerable and responsible to the people is still under debate. Rodan and Hughes (2014) summarize four approaches to understanding the constitution of accountable government: namely, liberal accountability, democratic accountability, moral accountability, and social accountability. Accordingly, accountability is the interplay between government officials and the people through these four approaches, which can help us to understand the extent to which officials are answerable to and sanctioned for their acts. Thereby, accountability may not have a real operational definition because, by nature, it is contextual and shaped through government-mass interactions. This paper aims to understand accountability by examining the case of the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) through an application of Rodan and Hughes’ four approaches to accountability. Its main purpose is to study the political interplay between the Macao people and government for the purpose of making a more accountable government. Its argument is that liberal and democratic accountabilities are not well institutionalized in Macau and that, instead, the MSAR government relies mainly on moral accountability to socialize the public. Leaning toward the liberal approach, the MSAR government has been trying to socialize the moral standards of the Macao masses in order to guide the public’s demand for accountability.
