There has been an ongoing debate on Taiwan independence within the mainstream of domestic politics on Taiwan; political liberalization and the increased representation of opposition parties in Taiwan's legislature have opened public debate on the island's national identity; a broad popular consensus has developed that the island currently enjoys sovereign independence and - whatever the ultimate outcome regarding reunification or independence - that Taiwan's people must have the deciding voice; public opinion polls consistently show a substantial majority of Taiwan people supports maintaining Taiwan's status quo for the foreseeable future; advocates of Taiwan independence oppose the stand that the island will eventually unify with mainland China.This book presents in-depth analysis of such issues such as foreign policy, political reform, and overall economic developments.Political partiesTaiwanTaiwanEconomic policyTaiwanPolitics and governmentPolitical parties330.95124/9Roberts Lachlan N1872564Lewis Cooper R1872565MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970805603321Taiwan4481769UNINA
