OverviewWhen Chen Shui-bian, Taiwan's first non-Kuomintang president, left office in 2008, his tenure was widely considered a disappointment. More recent events, however, suggest the need for a reassessment of this crucial period in Taiwan's political development. Taiwan's Democracy Challenged provides that assessment, considering key facets of both the progress toward and the obstacles to democratic consolidation during the Chen Shui-bian era.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis volume may become the definitive resource for understanding the Chen Shui-bian era-important for studying not only Taiwan's democratic development, but also democratic consolidation in general. The authors illustrate the complex, uneven, and multifaceted aspects of the era, also highlighting the 'unfinished' nature of this lived democratic experience. A 'must read' collection.... This is by far the best treatment of democratic consolidation in Taiwan that I have seen. Well-researched, well-structured. Highly recommended. Each chapter is abundantly filled with detailed material and analyses.... A must-read for scholars and students of Taiwan.
