About this product

Product Information

Politics in Taiwan is an accessible and highly readable survey of the Taiwanses political situation covering 1949 to the present. With a focus on the issue of democratisation, Shelley Rigger covers Tawian's complicated, and unique, political history. The Republic of China on Taiwan's ecxperience of democratisation in unusual. Taiwan began confounding theorists of political development more that thirty years ago: in the two deacdes after Taiwan weaned itself off US foreign assissstance in 1965, it stood as a counter-example to modernization theories which saw a link between industrialisation and democratisation. When political refrom took hold in the mod 1960's, it was driven by ethnic and political injustice rather than by the predictablecalls based demands born of economic success. This book shows that Taiwan, unlike other countries, avoided seriuos economic disruption and social conflict, and arrived at its goal of multi-party competition with little blood shed. Nonetheless, this survey reveals that for those who imagine democracy to be the panacea for every social, economic and political ill, Taiwan's continuing struggles against corruption, isolation and division offer a cautionary lesson. This book is an ideal, one-stop resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of political science, particuarly those interested in the international politics of China, and the Asia-Pacific.

    Although the description details were misleading, the customer support was rather good. I ordered the 2-volume set of ‘Atlas Shrugged’, but received a single volume. It might not seem like much to others, but it’s a large book and a 2-set volume would have made it easier to read. In addition, poor packaging damaged the DJ. Anyways, after sending firm, yet precise and polite emails, the situation was promptly resolved, hence the positive feedback; and, why I would buy again from the seller. 👍

    Often sellers who have sold thousands of books don't care about editions. They use a stock image and eBay auto-fills the details - you rarely get what you think you are buying. I asked the seller to confirm the edition and was reassured that "...Our books are listed as per ISBN..." The listing quoted a long delivery time (about 6 weeks), as it was shipping across the Atlantic I was ok with this. Happy to confirm: Great comms, as described and arrived in very good time (9 days from ordering).
