This edited volume investigates and evaluates the context, causes, and consequences of various essential issues in Taiwanese domestic politics and external relations before and after the regime change in 2016. It offers theoretical interpretation and temporal delineation of recent electoral shifts, party realignment, identity reformulation, and subsequent foreign policy adaptation in the 2010s. Contributors address these issues in three sectionsââDemocracy and New Political Landscape,â âThe China Factor and Cross-Strait Dilemma,â and âTaiwanâs International Way-outââto advance conclusions about Taiwanâs political transformation from both comparative and international perspectives.
