Government and Politics in Taiwan

"This book is impeccably written – extremely clear prose and full of lucid details that even a non-specialist and non-statistician like me can understand. The amount of careful work involved in amassing all the data is extraordinary and the transparency and fluidity of the proseis impressive. It's a pleasure to read something so well-written – something I would rarely say about most academic texts."

Professor Adam Lifshey, Georgetown University, USA.

"This is a useful introduction to Taiwan’s politics, especially as a textbook (with questions after each chapter). However, it will not only interest students, but also deserves a wider readership, especially within the policymaking community and among journalists who need to better understand why a democratic Taiwan matters."

Parmeet Kajal, International Journal of Taiwan Studies

"One book worth recommending to beginners and experts alike is Dafydd Fell’s Government and Politics in Taiwan second edition published by Routledge Research. For beginners it lays out the context and background and for specialists it serves as an excellent review, reminding us of events we may have forgotten about and in context. Fortunately, unlike most academics, Fell writes with actual reader enjoyment and understanding in mind."
