Party Politics in Taiwan

Dafydd Fell is the Taiwan Studies Research Fellow at the Centre for Financial and Management Studies and Visiting Lecturer at the Politics Department at the London School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). He is the coordinator of the SOAS Taiwan Studies Programme and the European Association of Taiwan Studies. He has published journal articles on party change, election campaigning, and inner party democracy in Taiwan.

"This is a skillfully presented and very well-organized book that moves from chapter to chapter smoothly and efficently. It never buries its readers under mountains of data and thus is also a book that reads easily. Fell does not overwhelm the reader with jargon or with an overabundance of theory...By taking this tack, he makes Party Politics in Taiwan accessible and interesting to a wider audience than many other books on Taiwan's present-day political system this reviewer has read over the course of his 26 years spent studying Taiwan."--Murray A Rubenstein, Pacific Affairs, Vol 79 No 1, Spring 2006
