Series: Routledge Research on Taiwan Series

In January 2016, Taiwan’s former authoritarian ruler, the KMT, the Nationalist Party of China, lost control of both the presidency and the legislature. Having led the democratization process in Taiwan during the 1980s, it maintained a winning coalition among big business, the public sector, green-collar workers and local factions. Until now.

A New Era in Democratic Taiwan identifies past, present and future trajectories in party politics and state-society relations in Taiwan. Providing a comprehensive examination of public opinion data, it sheds light on significant changes in the composition of political attitudes among the electorate. Through theoretical and empirical analyses, this book also demonstrates the emergence of a ‘new’ Taiwanese identity during the transition to democracy and shows how a diffusion of interests in society has led to an opening for niche political organizations. The result, it argues, is a long-term challenge to the ruling parties.

As the first book to evaluate Taiwan’s domestic and international circumstances after Tsai’s election in 2016, this book will be useful for students and scholars of Taiwan Studies and cross-Strait relations, as well as Asian politics more generally.

Reviews for A New Era in Democratic Taiwan: Trajectories and Turning Points in Politics and Cross-Strait Relations

"""This collection is likely to become a significant and influential example of cross-disciplinary research straddling area studies, political science, and international relations. It testifies to a major step towards combining the thinking and approaches of both the development of Taiwanese democracy and the emergence of a new national identity, which represents an original and meaningful approach in these fields."" Beatrice Zani, International Journal of Taiwan Studies"
