Rezensionen

"Beckershoff's work is a strong and insightful addition to the existing literature on the period. The book does a great deal in deepening the literature in English about the 2000s and 2010s in Taiwan. Moreover, it continues to be relevant as reading for contemporary times, seeing as many of the social forces that were salient during this period still influence contemporary Taiwanese society."

Brian Hioe, No Man Is An Island

"One of the prominent features of this book is its conceptual sophistication and theoretical orientation. While many studies in the same vein tend to focus solely on either power elites or grassroots, this book distinguishes itself with a balanced approach that integrates both types of actors within a common analytical framework."

Ming-sho Ho, National Taiwan University

"Beckershoff applies Gramsci's theoretical model of hegemony [...] very productively and with great diligence in compiling and analyzing the empirical data. The book provides an outstanding, detailed insight into the political and social dynamics in Taiwan, particularly with regard to the relationship with China."

Anna Wieman, Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen
