What is Taiwan's Presidential Politics: Democratization and Cross-Strait Relations in the Twenty-First Century (Taiwan in the Modern World) about?

The March 2000 presidential election was an important milestone in the ongoing development of democracy in Taiwan. After controlling political power for over five decades, the Kuomintang (KMT) was turned out of power and replaced by the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) through a free and fair election. Chen Shuibian's victory and the defeat of the KMT have important consequences for future political developments in Taiwan and the Asia Pacific region in general.<p> This volume looks at the domestic and international implications of this alternation of power in Taiwan. The chapters address trends and changes in Taiwan's politics and analyze the outcome of the March 2000 election. Other issues discussed include: the challenges and prospects for continued democratic consolidation in Taiwan; the lessons and ramifications for China and Southeast Asia; peace and security in the region; cross-strait economic relations; and U.S. and Japanese policy in Asia.</p>
