Since the 1980’s, Taiwan has primarily been viewed as a thriving economic model. Though certainly true, this assessment belies the amazing social and political success story for 23 million people on a small New Hampshire-sized island just off the China coast. Metzler highlights the engaging political narrative of democratization as well as Taiwan’s noteworthy accomplishments despite the proximity and opposition of communist China. Further, the result of the 2016 elections and its implication are analyzed. Scholars studying East Asia and policy makers will gain a greater appreciation for the island’s dynamic, prosperous resilience, despite pressure from China. . 000778904 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 03, 2017). 000778904 651_0 $$aTaiwan$$xHistory$$y1895-1945. 000778904 651_0 $$aTaiwan$$xHistory$$y1945- 000778904 651_0 $$aTaiwan$$xPolitics and government$$y1895-1945. 000778904 651_0 $$aTaiwan$$xPolitics and government$$y1945- 000778904 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMetzler, John J.$$tTaiwan's transformation.$$dNew York, NY, U.S.A. : Palgrave Macmillan, [2017]$$z1137574925$$w(DLC) 2016950469$$w(OCoLC)948547590 000778904 852__ $$bebk 000778904 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-56442-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000778904 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:778904$$pGLOBAL_SET 000778904 980__ $$aEBOOK 000778904 980__ $$aBIB 000778904 982__ $$aEbook 000778904 983__ $$aOnline 000778904 994__ $$a92$$bISE
