A View of Taiwan's 2001 Election
12/13/2001 - 03/14/2002

Author's note: Twenty-nine scholars and analysts of Asia from the United States, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Europe were invited for a week by the Taiwan (ROC) government to observe the parliamentary (Legislative Yuan) and local elections on 12/01/2001. These articles are my observations and some impressions from that trip about Taiwan, its
government, people and its democracy.
