Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses on the KMT's reputation for economic management, democratization and good leadership that made its return to power in 2008 possible. The opposition Democratic Progressive Party's corruption was also a factor. The KMT seems ready to continue to rule for some time suggesting short turnovers in ruling parties unlikely.
