Should I Stay or Should I Go? Patterns of Party Switching in Multiparty Taiwan
نویسنده
چکیده
COMPARED TO SOME OF ITS EAST ASIAN NEIGHBORS, SUCH AS SOUTH Korea and Japan, Taiwan’s party system has been much more stable over the last two decades. Remarkably, the same two parties, the Kuomintang (KMT) and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), dominate the party scene in 2012 as in 1986. The year 1986 was particularly significant as it was the first election in which the KMT faced a genuine opposition party.1 Taiwan has not seen the kind of confusing wholesale party splits and mergers that characterized Korean and Japanese party politics for much of the 1990s and 2000s. Nevertheless, there have been periods where new Taiwanese parties emerged to challenge the mainstream parties and also times when politicians from the splinter parties moved back to the established parties. These patterns of party switching contributed to the country’s fluctuations between dominant, multiparty, and two-party systems.
