Today, Taiwan ranks among the highest among liberal and electoral democracies in indices like V-Dem.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif\">However, Taiwan\u2019s four decades of authoritarian rule continue to challenge Taiwanese society today even after democratisation.\u00a0 Coming to a social consensus on how to address the abuses and excesses of the authoritarian period as part of transitional justice has proven to be difficult and controversial.\u00a0 Marginalised groups, such as Taiwanese Indigenous Peoples, face challenges even within Taiwan\u2019s democratic landscape.\u00a0 Social movements and political parties still grapple with the legacies of authoritarian rule, as institutions and norms from decades ago continue to structure the present.\u00a0 Meanwhile, in comparison to the rest of Asia and the world, Taiwan\u2019s democracy appears to be increasingly unique as other societies around the world face democratic backsliding and a resurgence of authoritarianism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif\">This call invites authors to submit proposals for inclusion in a topical section dedicated to the theme of postauthoritarianism and democratic transition in Taiwan.\u00a0 The editors are keen especially for papers that visit the question of postauthoritarianism and democratic transition with new approaches or revisionist arguments, either in the past or present.\u00a0 Possible examples include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif\">The rise of nostalgia for authoritarianism. Recent political figures have campaigned either on platforms that harken back to the authoritarian era under Kuomintang rule or have campaigned with family legacies from the period.\u00a0 What explains changing attitudes for or against authoritarianism?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Transitional justice as a postauthoritarian phenomenon.\u00a0 As elements of Taiwan society continue to seek justice for past authoritarian abuses, how do we understand the controversies and challenges they face?<\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Marginalisation under democratic transition.\u00a0 While democracies often represent liberal values of equality and justice, many groups continue to experience marginalisation.\u00a0 Taiwan\u2019s recent MeToo movement shows that gender inequality and patriarchy still persist within political and social structures.\u00a0 Indigenous peoples who have attempted to assert their own identity in a democratic society face challenges of recognition stemming from authoritarian norms and legacies.\u00a0 How should we understand the challenges of marginalised peoples under postauthoritarian societies?<\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Authoritarian institutions and norms in a postauthoritarian society.\u00a0 While Taiwanese society has moved to support a liberal democracy, many aspects of Taiwanese politics are still structured by its authoritarian past.\u00a0 From the rigid hierarchy of its military, which bears increasing scrutiny as Taiwan faces external threats, to its legal and constitutional structures that derive from the early years of KMT rule and affect major social situations today such as Indigenous rights and Taiwan\u2019s international status, how do these institutions and norms affect the present?<\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Postcolonialism and decolonisation.\u00a0 Scholars have argued that Taiwan\u2019s authoritarian rule under the KMT should be seen as a form of settler colonialism.\u00a0 Democratisation simultaneously went hand-in-hand with a decolonisation from the Sinicisation and colonial policies of the KMT.\u00a0 How do processes of authoritarian-to-democratic transition and decolonisation inform each other?\u00a0 Can we explain postauthoritarianism from the lens of postcolonialism?<\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Postauthoritarianism in a regional and global perspective.\u00a0 As Taiwan\u2019s democracy remains resilient, especially after the Sunflower Movement nearly a decade ago, other democracies across the world have not fared as well.\u00a0 Coups and authoritarian nostalgia have resurfaced in all corners of the world.\u00a0 How do we explain Taiwan\u2019s unique resiliency, or is Taiwan also at risk of authoritarian resurgence?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif\">Please send an abstract of no more than 500 words and a 150-word short author bio to guest editors Bill Lavely at\u00a0<span lang=\"EN\"><a href=\"mailto:lavely@uw.edu\" data-linkindex=\"2\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">lavely@uw.edu<\/span><\/a><\/span>, Chun-yi Lee at\u00a0<span lang=\"EN\"><a href=\"mailto:Chun-Yi.Lee@nottingham.ac.uk\" data-linkindex=\"3\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Chun-Yi.Lee@nottingham.ac.uk<\/span><\/a><\/span>, and James Lin at\u00a0<span lang=\"EN\"><a href=\"mailto:jyslin@uw.edu\" data-linkindex=\"4\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">jyslin@uw.edu<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif\">Deadlines:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif\">By 31st October 2023: Submission of abstract to guest editors<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif\">By 15 December 2023:\u00a0Invitation from guest editors for manuscript submission<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif\">By 31st March 2024: Submit full papers online to the IJTS for double-blind peer review<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Taiwan Studies Topical Section: &#8220;Democratic Transition and Postauthoritarianism in Taiwan&#8221; In the 1980s and 1990s, Taiwan underwent a dramatic transformation from single-party authoritarian rule to a vibrant multi-party democracy.\u00a0 The transformation spawned a number of studies about Taiwan\u2019s democratisation as part of the so-called \u2018Third Wave\u2019.
