About this book
Reviews
“This new book is a welcome addition to the literature on Taiwan’s politics. The editor Lee Wei-chin has done a remarkable job gathering together many of the leading specialists on Taiwan’s domestic and international politics. I particularly enjoyed some of the chapters that addressed topics that are often neglected in studies of Taiwan’s politics such as on alternative parties, Japan-Taiwan relations, the comparison with Hong Kong and relations with South East Asia. As someone that teaches courses on undergraduate and postgraduate Taiwan’s politics, I look forward to adding many of these chapters to the reading lists for the next academic year!” (Dafydd Fell, Director Centre of Taiwan Studies, University of London, United Kingdom)
“The 2016 national election, which the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won handily (gaining a majority in the legislature for the first time), became a turning point in terms of Taiwan’s domestic politics and its diplomacy. Professor Lee Wei-chin sets the stage in this book for a stableof Taiwan specialist scholars to look in-depth at the problems Taiwan faced post-election. They do yeoman’s jobs in elucidating Taiwan’s current dilemmas.” (John F. Copper, the Stanley J. Buckman professor (emeritus) of International Studies at Rhodes College, USA)
