520 1 $a"Democracy (Made in Taiwan) examines the intersection of postcolonialism and Confucianism after democratization and liberalization occurred in Taiwan. Chih-Yu Shih argues against current trends in political science which present Taiwan in an unbalanced, wishful, and Washington centric way. Sidestepping the liberal bias, this study exposes the problematic nature of the mainstream view of failing states. In many aspects, Taiwan is a disguised failure, or even a fake; in the sense that its democratization adopts a populist identity strategy rather than a liberal one; in addition, its foreign policy compliance to hegemonic leadership is characterized by anti-China determination, instead of a realist approach involving the calculation of power. By rewriting domestic liberalism and external realism into meanings unknown to the hegemonic power, Democracy (Made in Taiwan) celebrates Taiwan's postcolonial fluidity."--BOOK JACKET.
