	The Role of Local Self-government in the Democratization Process in Taiwan

		In Taiwan Province there are Three levels of cities: special municipalities (Taipei and Kaohsiung), which, like provinces, fall under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, provincial municipalities which are under direct provincial jurisdiction, and county municipalities which are under direct county governments.
		In Taiwan mutual obligation requires reciprocal favoritism and thus provides an important attitudinal basis patron-client exchange in politics, therefore factionalism is a common characteristic of Taiwan's elections to local administrative units at a municipal, county, township, and village.

	Taiwan Provinces
		Both of them use "Taiwan, Province of China" as the official name of this area (which is a slight misnomer, as it neglects the ROC part of Fukien).
		Taiwan belonged to Japan in 1900, as a spoil of the Sino-Japanese War of 1895.
		On a secondary level, the provinces of Taiwan and (the ROC part of) Fukien are subdivided into hsien (counties, districts) and shih (municipalities, cities).

	Asia Times: Taiwan's perilous transition
		On the economic front, Taiwan suffered a significant rise in unemployment (rising from a high of 2.9 percent in 1999 to nearly 4 percent in April 2001), while the Taiwan Stock Exchange has fallen from 8,600 to about 5,000 in the past 12 months.
		To begin with, it is deceptive to blame political changes in Taiwan for the island's economic woes; in fact, its economic troubles are shared by economies around the region, and the world.
		The influence Taiwan's presidents Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching- kuo and Lee Teng-hui derived from their status as chairmen of the all-powerful KMT masked the institutional weakness of the presidency, so it was only after several months in office that Chen began to appreciate fully the constraints on his office.

	Wall Street Journal" Confident Taiwan
		Earlier this year, when Taiwan's President Lee Teng-hui was pushing for constitutional reforms, he told fellow members of the ruling Kuomintang that while abolishing a layer of government and bureaucracy at the provincial level might hurt the party, it would be good for democracy.
		Change is a sign of progress in Taiwan because it demonstrates that democracy has become a dynamic force.
		On Saturday, the voters of Taiwan gave the DPP a taste of power, thereby supplying all political leaders with a new and updated road map to guide them into the future.

		Saturday's results will transcend municipal politics, and are widely considered to be a dress rehearsal for the presidential elections of 2004.
		While Chen correctly states that cross-Strait integration is no panacea for Taiwan's woes, his government generally gets poor marks for its overall efforts to address record-high unemployment, a tottering financial system, and the overall structural changes facing Taiwan's economy.
		But as these people do not vote in the Taipei election, it is clear that Chen feels the need to discredit Ma on the national scale in the run-up to his own re-election campaign in 2004.

	E-Notes: Taiwan's Perilous Transition - FPRI
		The influence Taiwan’s Presidents Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo and Lee Teng-hui derived from their status as chairmen of the all-powerful KMT masked the institutional weakness of the presidency, so it was only after several months in office that President Chen began to appreciate fully the constraints on his office.
		But polls showed little popular support for such a move, and the KMT and its allies eventually shelved the idea, belatedly discovering the value of a “rational opposition.” Still, the damaged unleashed in those early, chaotic months has yet to be repaired.
		The next big event on Taiwan’s political calendar is the legislative election scheduled for December 1, 2001.

		Consequently, driving in Taiwan is an inconvenient, stressful, and even dangerous act.
		Vehicles in Taiwan are competently made, but skimpy on the safety equipment and structure.
		Since the people who teach driving are the same people who administer the test, they make big bucks when you fail and are then forced to register for their classes (welcome to Taiwan: scam island).
