About this event
The Taiwan on the eve of the 2024 event is a discussion on Taiwan’s political scene in the run up to the January 2024 national elections hosted by Prof. Dafydd Fell, the director of SOAS Centre of Taiwan Studies.
Our panellists have published extensively on Taiwan’s politics over the last two decades. They will reflect on recent visits to Taiwan but also offer comparative insights on how the current campaign compares with earlier elections in Taiwan’s recent history.
