Measuring and Explaining Party Change in Taiwan: 1991?2004
Dafydd Fell 동아시아연구원 2005 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.5 No.1
This study examines party platform change in a Third Wave democratic country, Taiwan, during its first fourteen years of full multi-party elections. A variety of datasets show Taiwan’s parties have moved from polarized positions towards a moderate center on all core electoral issues. However, the parties have not converged into indistinguishable catchall parties; instead they have instituted a state of moderate differentiation. The degree Taiwan’s parties have moderated and been electorally successful has been intimately tied to the internal balance of power between election orientated and ideologically conservative factions or leaders. In response to public opinion and electoral competition, Taiwan’s election orientated leaders attempted to drag their parties towards centrist positions. The key variable constraining convergent party movement and maintaining differentiation has been the strength of ideologically conservative party factions. When these ideologically orientated factions have held the upper hand in parties, they have promoted ideologically orthodox, but often unpopular policies. Even when the election orientated faction is in control at the party center, secondary factions have been able to constrain movement away from party ideals.
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Patterns of Party Switching in Multiparty Taiwan
Dafydd Fell 동아시아연구원 2014 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.14 No.1
Patterns of party switching in Taiwan have played an important role in the development and relative stability of its party system. In this study I aim to track key patterns of how politicians switched their partisan affiliation during the critical periods of party system change. I examine the level of party switching, where party switching was most prevalent, when switching was most common, and the most common types of switching since the advent of multiparty politics in Taiwan. Party switching is an important phenomenon in the development of party politics in Taiwan but thus far it has received surprisingly little systematic attention. This is the first comprehensive attempt to tackle this understudied topic.
