The March 2000 presidential election was an important milestone in Taiwan's ongoing democratic development. After controlling political power for over five decades, the Kuomingtang was turned out of power and replaced by the opposition Democratic Progressive Party through a free and fair election. This book addresses the variety of effects that Taiwan's democratic development and the elections will have on domestic policy and the region. It examines trends and changes in Taiwan's politics, considers the international implications of Taiwan's democratic evolution for a variety of issues, and explores the challenges and prospects for continued democratic consolidation and the implications and lessons for the PRC and Southeast Asia.
