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.DemocracyTaiwanTaiwanPolitics and government1945-Democracy320.95124909045Riggers Shelley1881765MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962275303321Politics in Taiwan4496566UNINA
