Product Description
Consolidating Taiwan's Democracy assesses the often-heard argument that political change in Taiwan, especially that resulting from recent elections that brought a change of ruling parties (first in the executive branch of government and then the legislative branch), proves that Taiwan's democratization has been "finalized" or consolidated. The author sees both positive and negative aspects to democracy’s consolidation in Taiwan.
