Abstract:
|
The 2004 presidential election in Taiwan was certainly dramatic with a bitterly contested race that incumbent President Chen Shui-bian of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won by the razor-thin margin of 50.1% to 49.9. In addition, the issue dynamics of the election took a surprising turn, at least from the perspective of political science theory. Chen’s campaign emphasized Taiwanese nationalism directed both at resisting the People’s Republic of China (PRC) who claims sovereignty over Taiwan and promoting “ethnic justice” for the long-time residents of Taiwan who were marginalized politically under the authoritarian regime of the Nationalist or Kuomintang Party (KMT) from the mid-1940s through the late 1980s. This was clearly a winning strategy, but its success was at least somewhat surprising given the distribution of public opinion in Taiwan and the past electoral history of the country’s democratic era (1991-2000). This paper, hence, explores the “puzzle” of Chen’s successful appeal to Taiwanese nationalism. |
