The political transformation of Taiwan from an authoritarian
regime into a democracy is one of the great political sagas of the
20th century. Defeated on the China mainland, the Kuomintang
established a new polity on Taiwan that allowed for four remarkable
patterns of political development. These patterns reflect a complex
political process of behavioral and institutional change in which
the key requisites for democracy now exist in Taiwan. Taiwan's
history of citizen participation in direct elections, along with
the political institutional changes narrated here by Chao and
Myers, produced an unprecedented, peaceful political turn-over of
power from the KMT ruling party to the DPP, or Democratic
Progressive Party, in March 2000.
