The analysis undertaken reviews three case studies of major events in the baseball world in Taiwan to provide an insight into the principal interests and forces in the governance system. In theoretical terms the study employs and evaluates classical theories of the state, strategic relations theory and governance theory to describe, evaluate and explain the processesevident in the three cases.The study concludes that the governance system is characterised by a tension between mechanisms of 'modem' liberal politics, and 'traditional' forms of political clientelism. Key words: sport, baseball, governance,theories of the state, strategic relations theory, Taiwan, political clientelism Acknowledgments When it comes to finding some words to acknowledge people who have contributed to this thesis, there would seem to be too many to mention in short sentences. Nevertheless, I still have to attempt this task to expressmy gratitude to them. My supervisor, Professor Ian Henry, who is a knowledgeable, friendly, and humorous gentleman, has made this PhD journey positive and joyful.
