This book is a study of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the
Taiwan Independence Movement (TIM) and electoral politics in Taiwan
during 2000-2012. It consists of two parts: the first part proposes
a movement government framework to understand the fluctuating
popular support for the DPP government during 2000-2008 when it was
in power, and the second part includes a series of studies on the
DPP's quick but limited revival during 2008-2012 when it was out of
power. For the DPP in and out of power, its strategic relations
with the TIM have either promoted or constrained popular support
for the DPP under different circumstances. This book reviews the
history of the TIM since 1945, its relations with the DPP since
1986, the DPP's strategies in dealing with the TIM, and explains
how these strategies have significantly affected the size and
composition of the DPP's support base since 2000 by analyzing rich
survey data collected during 1996-2013. Theoretically, this book
challenges the traditional dichotomous and overly structuralist
understanding of state-movement relations; empirically, it provides
both qualitative and quantitative analysis of Taiwan's major
political and social events since 2000, such as presidential and
legislative elections, and rise of Taiwanese nationalism.
