This title was first published in 2001. By examining the way the
ruling Nationalist Party (KMT) dominated Taiwan's three mainstream
television stations before the introduction of political reform in
the mid-1980s, the book provides an insightful investigation of how
the media can be used as an instrument of both political power and
emancipation. This new approach challenges many accepted
assumptions about Taiwan's political development, such as the
sacrifice of democracy for stability and wealth and recognizes that
threats to society often originate within the state itself, rather
than from external forces. However, the development of public
television also broadened the political agenda, allowing the
Taiwanese population to express its will through collective
activities and to exercise the power of (civil) society. Taiwan is
an exciting case study with which to explore the post-Cold War
understanding of Critical Security. A fascinating look at one of
the world's most rapidly developing nations, this book makes a
striking contribution to a fresh area of political thought.
