The years of the Ma Ying-jiu presidency in Taiwan were
controversial from the beginning. When he came to power in 2008, Ma
was considered the strongest and most popular KMT presidential
candidate since Lee Teng-hui. However, his rapprochement towards
China met with increasing resistance and by the time he stepped
down in 2016, he enjoyed the lowest support rates of any incumbent
president. What happened in between? This book undertakes a
balanced empirical assessment of the achievements and failures of
the Ma Ying-jiu era. Renowned Taiwan scholars analyse the changing
political environment that shaped the Ma presidency, covering
important topics such as Taiwan's evolving nationalism and rising
civil societal activism, cross-strait economic integration and
migration, and the factors determining its 'international space'.
As the first comprehensive scholarly work on the Ma Ying-jiu
presidency, this books is a must read for students and scholars of
Taiwanese politics and society, cross-strait relations and East
Asian politics in general.
