Taiwan Since Martial Law: UK Book Launch

Abstract:

Taiwan Since Martial Law is a collection of papers that examine the social, cultural, economic, and political changes that have happened on the island since the lifting of martial law in 1987. The authors are a combination of leading and junior academics engaged in research in both the social sciences and humanities who through a variety of research projects conclude that this was a truly watershed moment in modern Taiwan history. Coming together from multi-disciplinary backgrounds, the Centre of Taiwan Studies at SOAS has assembled the UK-based authors to discuss this rapidly-changing island in all of its diversity through their own personal reflections.
