Description

This scholarly work by Laliberte examines the significant but often overlooked relationship between religion and politics in modern Taiwan. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of three major Buddhist organisations that shaped Taiwan's political landscape: the Buddhist Association of the Republic of China (BAROC), Buddha Light Mountain (Foguanshan) monastic order, and the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Association (Ciji). Through detailed case studies, the author explores how these organisations responded to critical issues including state supervision of religion, Taiwan's historic first presidential election in 1996, and the establishment of the National Health Insurance. The work reveals the contrasting ideological positions and political strategies these Buddhist groups employed whilst navigating Taiwan's complex religious and governmental structures. Essential reading for anyone interested in Asian religious studies, Taiwan's political history, or the intersection of faith and governance in modern democracies.
