Routledge A New Era in Democratic Taiwan - Politics Book

Explore the shifting landscape of East Asian politics with A New Era in Democratic Taiwan. This volume from the Routledge Research on Taiwan Series examines the significant political transition that occurred in January 2016, when the KMT lost control of both the presidency and the legislature. For decades, the KMT maintained a powerful coalition involving big business, the public sector, and local factions, but this book analyzes how that dynamic changed. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the past, present, and future trajectories of party politics and state-society relations. By providing a comprehensive examination of public opinion data, the text sheds light on major changes in social composition and political alignment. This is an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the evolution of democratic processes and cross-strait relations in Taiwan.
