  • Will the Coronavirus Crisis Trump the Climate Crisis
    https://nyti.ms/2WeSq9a Will the Coronavirus Crisis Trump the Climate Crisis? The battle over how to spend recovery funds — to quickly restore the old economy or invest in a greener one — will define the post-pandemic world. By Steven Erlanger Published May 9, 2020 Updated Dec. 11, 2020 BRUSSELS — With the global paralysis induced by the coronavirus, levels of pollution and carbon emission are dropping everywhere — leaving bluer skies, visible mountains, splendid wildflowers. Even Venice’s famously murky canals are running clear. After decades of industry and government slow-walking the climate issue, for some it is proof that effective action can be achieved. But nature’s revival has come at enormous cost, with Europe’s economy projected to decline 7.4 percent this year. So for many, like the suddenly unemployed, concerns about climate — which seemed urgent just a few months ago — can seem less so now. Those competing camps are now locked in debate over how and what to rebuild — between those who want to get the economy moving again, no matter how, and those who argue that the crisis is a chance to accelerate the transition to a cleaner economy. Jean Pisani-Ferry, an economist and former aide to President Emmanuel Macron of France, described this as the struggle that “will define the post-pandemic world.” For green militants, the virus “only strengthens the urgent need for climate action,’’ he wrote recently. “But die-hard industrialists are equally convinced: There should be no higher priority than to repair a ravaged economy, postponing stricter environmental regulations if necessary.

The Rise and Fall of the Taiwan independence Policy: Power Shift, Domestic Constraints, and Sovereignty Assertiveness (1988-2010) Abstract How to explain the rise and fall of the Taiwan independence policy? As the Taiwan Strait is still the only conceivable scenario where a major power war can break out and Taiwan's words and deeds can significantly affect the prospect of a cross-strait military conflict, ot answer this question is not just a scholarly inquiry. I define the aiwanT independence policy as internal political moves by the Taiwanese government to establish Taiwan as a separate and sovereign political entity on the world stage. Although two existing prevailing explanations--electoral politics and shifting identity--have some merits, they are inadequate to explain policy change over the past twenty years. Instead, I argue that there is strategic rationale for Taiwan to assert a separate sovereignty. Sovereignty assertions are attempts to substitute normative power--the international consensus on the sanctity of sovereignty--for a shortfall in military- economic-diplomatic assets.

This thesis argues tbat, under certain conditions, economic liberalization can strengthen the plitical position of consewative coalitions in transitional democracies. A large body of titerature on the effect of market-opening reforms and democratization posits that economic libedization, by generating social change, cceates new opportunicies for political refonn. This viewpoint, while not unchallenged, appears to be predorninant within academic circles. Through an empirical analysis of two case studies, Taiwan and South Korea, this study contributes a new perspective to the debate over the political effect of economic liberalization. The luialysis of these two countries focuses especially on the impact of market-opening refonn on the electoral- ideological area of pditical lik, an area (termed "political space" by this thesis) to which most existing literaîure seerns to attach only secondary importance (as it focuses ptimarily on institutional dynamics). Taiwan began its democratization process in 1987 with the lifting of marumarualIaw, while the fit rneasures to liberalize the island's economy were implernented in the 1980s. However, as economic and institutional cefonn progressed throughout the 1990s. conservative political elements (represented rnainly by the Kuominrang) have managed to mniatain their dominance over Taiwan's political space.

  • Cross-Strait Relations After the 2016 Taiwan Presidential Election: the Impact of Changing Taiwanese Identity
    Cross-Strait Relations after the 2016 Taiwan Presidential Election: The Impact of Changing Taiwanese Identity Yitan Li, Ph.D. Associate Professor Political Science Seattle University [email protected] Enyu Zhang, Ph.D. Associate Professor International Studies Seattle University [email protected] Although cross-strait relations have been the most stable in the last eight years under the pro-mainland KMT government, the pro-independence DPP scored a major victory in the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections. This paper examines ways identity changes in Taiwan have influenced how Taiwanese view and deal with cross-strait relations and reactions from the mainland after the January elections. Using constructivism as the theoretical framework and survey data, we argue that Taiwan’s continued democratization has created a different social and political experience. This experience has solidified over time and created a unique Taiwanese identity. As time passes, the KMT which has a stronger historical and social lineage with the mainland is being weakened by Taiwan’s changing experience and identity. Nevertheless, peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are not only essential for people on both sides of the strait, they are essential for the region and the world. Both the new DPP government and the mainland government must rethink their strategies and policies in order to construct a new framework to ensure continued peace and stability in the region. *This is a preliminary draft. Please do not cite without authors’ permission. Introduction On January 16th, 2016, Taiwanese voters went to the polls to elect their next president and legislative members. Although it was no surprise that the incumbent Nationalist (KMT) Party led by Eric Chu Li-luan had been in trouble, the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) led by Tsai Ing-wen won a landslide victory in both the presidential and parliamentary elections.
