Democratizing Taiwan provides the most comprehensive analysis of Taiwan's peaceful democratization including its past violent authoritarian experiences, leadership both within and outside government, popular protest and elections, and constitutional interpretation and amendments. Using extensive field research including the conduct of many interviews with government and party leaders, journalists, academics and a wide variety of citizens over many years as well as substantial research into documents, newspapers and academic research, Professor Jacobs provides many new insights into Taiwan's democratization. He also analyses areas in which Taiwan continues to face difficulties. 606 $aDemocratization$zTaiwan$xHistory 607 $aTaiwan$xPolitics and government$y1975- 615 0$aDemocratization$xHistory. 676 $a320.951249 700 $aJacobs$b J.
