Taiwan in Troubled Times

This study is concerned with Taiwan's politics and its relations with China following the election of Chen Shui-bian as President in March 2000. This event created problems between Taiwan and China and led to political gridlock in Taiwan. The Chen Administration is evaluated in this text, as is President Chen's party, which evolved as an opposition party and is in power at the time of this work's publication, but it is unaccustomed to the role.
