    One China, One Taiwan Little Chance of a Red Future for Taipei Originally published at: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/taiwan/2016-01-12/one-china-one- taiwan January 12, 2016 Salvatore Babones On January 16, the people of Taiwan will go to the polls to elect a new president and new legislative representatives. Like the United States, Taiwan has a two-term limit on the presidency, which means that the incumbent president, Ma Ying-jeou, must step down. And like the 2016 U.S. elections, the 2016 Taiwan elections are wide open. Ma’s governing Kuomintang (KMT) party enters these elections in complete disarray. Its spring 2015 presidential primaries resulted in the nomination of a senior legislator named Hung Hsiu-chu, its first-ever female candidate for president. But then in an unprecedented move, she was displaced by party chairman Eric Chu at a special party convention held on October 17. Chu went on to claim Hung’s former place at the top of the ticket. Chu is widely viewed as a placeholder candidate with a mandate not so much to win January's election as to prevent serious losses for the KMT, especially in the legislature. Tellingly, he has not resigned his position as mayor of New Taipei City, Taiwan's largest local government area. He has instead taken three months’ leave while an acting mayor watches over his suburban Taipei power base. Opposing the KMT is the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and its candidate, Tsai Ing-wen. A veteran campaigner who lost to the KMT’s Ma Ying-jeou in 2012, Tsai is widely expected to emerge from the polls as Taiwan’s first female president.

  • Portrayals of China in the Taiwan 2018 Election
    Friend or foe: portrayals of China in the Taiwan 2018 election A discourse analysis of Taiwanese media in relation to cross-strait relations Abstract: This thesis focuses on the 2018 local elections in Taiwan; although the elections were aimed at electing officials at a local level, the relation between Taiwan and China has been heavily discussed. This thesis analyses the way in which the Liberty Times and the United Daily News, as mouthpieces of respectively the DPP and the KMT, have created a discourse on cross-strait relations. In doing so, an analysis is made of Fake News, a topic discussed mostly by the DPP, and the 1992 consensus, a topic mostly discussed by the KMT. This thesis argues that the discourse as created by the DPP-side is less stable compared to the KMT-side, as a result of the traditional viewpoints that both parties adhere to. The image of the DPP as protector of Taiwanese freedom and democracy forces the DPP to a position where they have to paint China as an aggressor, using the issue of Chinese Fake News as one of its tools. In doing so, the DPP itself uses assumptions and exaggerations, thereby becoming a producer of fake news as well. Although the KMT also makes use of assumptions and exaggerations, the fact that the KMT portrays itself as a party aimed at economic progress makes it possible to take a more neutral stance.

Yusupova (a)*, R.M. Dautov (b)) *Corresponding author (a) Department of Geography and Cartography of the Institute of Management, Economics and Finance, Kazan (Privolzhsky) Federal University Ministry of economy of the Republic of Tatarstan, Deputy head of strategic development. Kazan, Russia, (b) Centre of social and economic research under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan, Kazan, Russia, Abstract The study of world experience in the development of agglomerations shows that managing the natural expansion of agglomeration centers avoids excessive concentration of resources in regional and national centers and forms the basis for the emergence of a positive synergy not only in agglomeration centers, but also within its influence zones. The current high level of polarization in the Russian economic space dictates the need to study foreign experience in managing the development of agglomerations, highlighting key constraints that will allow the algorithms operating in developed countries to adapt to the peculiarities of the Russian socio-economic environment. Currently, the regions are developing unevenly due to the uncertainty of macroeconomic parameters, which requires the implementation of a strategic approach to managing them. In accordance with the adopted Strategy, the development of Tatarstan should occur on the basis of urban agglomerations, which determined the relevance of the topic of this article.As the analysis of economic literature shows, the development of urban agglomerations makes it possible to ensure accelerated growth rates of territories due to the effective implementation of synergy effects based on a rational interaction of territories.
