  • Partisan Politics and Redistricting in Taiwan, 2005-2007*
    選舉研究 第二十三卷第一期（105/05），pp.01-37 DOI: 10.6612/tjes.2016.23.01.01-37 Partisan Politics and Redistricting in Taiwan, 2005-2007* Nathan F. Batto** Abstract This paper examines partisan politics in the redistricting process in Taiwan in 2005-2007 to explain why neither major party was able to obtain its best plan in every city or county. Theoretically, the degree of partisanship depends on the extent to which guidelines constrain decision makers, the partisan composition of decision making bodies, and the sequence of action. In this specific case, there were four stages. Redistricting plans went through local election commissions, the Central Election Commission, the legislature, and negotiations between the speaker and the premier. At each stage, the effects of the guidelines, composition, and sequence are considered in detail. In addition, three counties are examined, illustrating the three common patterns: consensus, dominance by the local election commission, and partisan conflict. From a public policy standpoint, the framework presented in this paper provides a way to assess how various reform proposals would alter the incentive and constraints facing various actors. Politically, the framework suggests how future redistricting may differ from the 2005-2007 round, especially if Taiwan has unified government. Keywords: redistricting, boundary commission, divided government, election commission, electoral system reform * The author thanks all the people who have read and commented on various drafts of this paper, especially Lu-huei Chen, Karen Long Jusko, Kuniaki Nemoto, and the anonymous referees. ** Assistant Research Fellow, Institute of Political Science, Academia Sinica. Email: [email protected]. edu.tw. 2 選舉研究 On 10 June 2005, Taiwan revised its constitution to replace the old single non-transferable vote (SNTV) electoral system with a new mixed-member majoritarian (MMM) system.

The economy of Japan, a major exporter, was deeply injured by the earthquake and tsunami of Mar. 11; the “Jasmine Revolution” in the Arab world brought on soaring oil prices; and in America, the world’s economic powerhouse, the pace of economic recovery was slow and unemployment was worse than expected. These factors, plus the worsening debt crises that brought some European countries to the verge of bankruptcy, filled the global economy with a high level of uncertainty. The developed countries were stuck in a mire of weak market confidence and overall demand and lacked the means to do much about it, and the ongoing high level of government debt prompted the affected countries to institute fiscal contraction plans; the emerging economies generally performed better than the developed countries, but they adopted contractionary monetary policies in response to worries about inflation. Monetary policy in the different countries, loose at the start of the year, became more conservative. Under the impact of global economic weakness Taiwan’s export growth began slowing appreciably in the fourth quarter; thanks to the continued improvement in domestic employment and the large increase in visitor arrivals, however consumption-related indexes performed well and resulted in the stable development of Taiwan’s overall economy during the past year.
