دانلود کتاب Taiwanisation: Its Origin & Politics

The two articles in this book examine the emergence of a unique Taiwanese consciousness. What this so-called "Taiwanization" is and how it came about is the issue addressed in the first article. The evolution of th is Taiwanese consciousness and how it is perceived and presented by major political parties like the Democratic Progressive Party, the Kuomintang, the People First Party and the New Party, is then discussed. The process appears to be an irreversible one which might lead to Taiwan's self-determination. The second article in this volume offers a working definition of Taiwanization. It then spells out the significance of understanding Taiwanization and the motivations of the proponents of the Taiwanization policy. A number of reasons are given as to why such a policy is necessary. The authors examine the strategies and tactics in implementing the Taiwanization policy, weighing its effectiveness, Beijing's reaction and the problems and prospects of pursuing this policy.
