dc.description.abstractThis dissertation investigates and examine how the Kuomintang has
dc.description.abstractmanaged to weather critical challenges presented by the liberalization and
dc.description.abstractdemocratization of Taiwan, while maintaining its political presence and
dc.description.abstractconsequently reconsolidating its crushing political dominance by recapturing the
dc.description.abstractpresidential seat and obtaining the most votes any presidential candidate in the
dc.description.abstracthistory of Taiwan has ever captured.
dc.description.abstractThe Kuomintang is anything but a pesky insect that refuses to go away.
dc.description.abstractThe Kuomintang is a tightly run, self-sustaining, and highly disciplined political
dc.description.abstractmachine that is deeply entrenched in all aspects of Taiwanese society through
dc.description.abstractinstitutions at both the national and local level, as well as through different
dc.description.abstractdimensions of institutions in the form of the five yuans, electoral rules, and local
dc.description.abstractbureaucracies and representative offices. These institutions are essential to the
dc.description.abstractKuomintang's survival in Taiwan. This mutually engaging and interactive
dc.description.abstractinstitutional relationship has helped sustain the Kuomintang for more than a
dc.description.abstractcentury.
dc.description.abstractThe Kuomintang's astonishing political success is a result of the
dc.description.abstractcollaborative, interlocking nature of national institutions, and most importantly,
dc.description.abstractthe Kuomintang's deep entrenchment in local institutions, along with the
dc.description.abstractKuomintang's cultivation of clientele and paternalistic social relationships.
