It is obvious that Taiwan's education reform and democratization share the same set of players. All major educational players played a role at different stages in the electoral process striving for popular support. This book applies game theoretic tools and proposes dynamic positioning as a new framework that regards Taiwan's education reform from 1994 to 2016 as the outcome of players strategic interactions (instead of top-down or bottom-up). The complex interplay is characterized by the continual adjustment of one's preferences and strategies in response to other players moves. This concept helps explain how and why Taiwan's education reform was once embraced by most players (cooperation), but became a battlefield between different camps (non-cooperation) soon after a change of the ruling party in 2000. It disputes various structural approaches on educational change, including functionalism, conflict theory, globalization, and theories of liberal democracy. It also contributes to the field of game theoretical studies in education and the specific literature of politics, social change, and education reform. 000799874 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed September 29, 2017). 000799874 650_0 $$aEducation and state$$zTaiwan. 000799874 650_0 $$aEducational change$$xPolitical aspects$$zTaiwan. 000799874 651_0 $$aTaiwan$$xPolitics and government. 000799874 651_0 $$aTaiwan$$xSocial conditions. 000799874 830_0 $$aSpotlight on China (Rotterdam, Netherlands) ;$$vv. 4. 000799874 852__ $$bebk 000799874 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-94-6351-152-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000799874 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:799874$$pGLOBAL_SET 000799874 980__ $$aEBOOK 000799874 980__ $$aBIB 000799874 982__ $$aEbook 000799874 983__ $$aOnline 000799874 994__ $$a92$$bISE
