In 2008 Ma Ying-jeou was elected President of Taiwan, and the
Kuomintang (KMT) returned to power after eight years of rule by the
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Since taking power, the KMT has
faced serious difficulties, as economic growth has been sluggish,
society has been polarised over issues of identity and policy, and
rapprochement between Taipei and Beijing has met with suspicion or
reservation among large segments of Taiwanese society. Indeed,
while improved relations with the United States have bolstered
Taiwan's security, warming cross-Strait relations have in turn made
Taiwan more dependent upon and vulnerable to an increasingly
powerful China. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the
return of the Kuomintang (KMT) to power, and examines the
significant domestic political, economic, social and international
challenges and changes that have characterized Taiwan since 2008.
It identifies the major domestic, cross-Strait and foreign policy
trends, and addresses key issues such as elections and Taiwan's
party system; the role of the presidency and legislature; economic
development; social movements; identity politics; developments in
cross-Strait relations; Taiwan's security environment and national
defence policies; relations with the US and Japan. In turn, the
contributors look towards the final years of Ma's presidency and
beyond, and the structural realities - both domestic and external -
that will shape Taiwan's future. Political Changes in Taiwan Under
Ma Ying-jeou will be of great interest to students and scholars of
Taiwan studies, comparative politics, international relations, and
economics. It will also appeal to policy makers working in the
field.
