“The Future of Taiwan’s Democracy.”
The recent 2024 presidential and legislative elections have once again put Taiwan in the global spotlight. How does this election reflect the political attitudes of the Taiwanese people, and what issues are likely to become the focus of political competition in Taiwan’s future? What is the relationship between Taiwan’s democratic politics and its cultural traditions and civil society? We have invited Manting Huang, an expert and participant in Taiwanese politics
