How Chen Shui-bian Won: The 2004 Taiwan Presidential Election and Its lmplications
Abstract
The year 2004 is the year of elections. In addition to America's race for the White House, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Taiwan all have national elections to replace their executives or legislators.
