OverviewEver since the end of China's civil war in 1949, Taiwan has embarked on its own divergent path of development. In the light of its achievements and inherent difficulties, therefore, Taiwan should not be considered a renegade province of China, but a society with a democratically-elected government that has taken a route different from the rest of China in developing its own cultural norms and values. This book examines the issues of democratic transition, political imprisonment and the political economy in Taiwan.
