“…For non‐Taiwanese readers, we show why studying Taiwan enriches understanding of climate politics more generally. Taiwan's environmental movement and climate actions are entangled with nationalism—which Jobin describes as “civic nationalism” (Jobin, 2021)—and Taiwan's case is an interesting case to contrast with other countries' climate nationalisms (Kashwan et al, 2022). As a young democracy that transitioned from an authoritarian regime, Taiwan offers insights into the debate on environmental authoritarianism (Mittiga, 2021).…”

“…There seems to be some evidence from non-Western contexts to support the optimism associated with the effectiveness of civic nationalism in promoting climate action. Jobin (2021) argues that Taiwan's environmental movements and the narrative of "civic eco-nationalism" have helped strengthen its democracy, while also promoting meaningful environmental and climate action against the pressures of authoritarianism.

“…Anatol Lieven seems to agree, as he calls for “a strong cultural and ideological core, based on a much stronger idea of common citizenship giving a common sense of identity to all citizens, of all races, genders, and classes” (Lieven, 2020a, p. 84). Jobin (2021) and Conversi and Hau (2021) both suggest that the strength of political mobilization may be a major factor in the success of civic nationalism. Others have raised questions about whether economically and politically powerful elites, whose interests are often aligned with the propagation of the fossil fuel economy, can be convinced to support eco‐nationalism (Matejova, 2021).…”

“…84 Indeed, the stance taken by the courts in those landmark cases Vietnamese fishermen filed a lawsuit before the Taipei District Court against a Taiwan-based corporation, Formosa Plastics, which caused marine pollution in Vietnam. 86 As Jobin puts it, '[t]he case is being heard in Taiwan because the plaintiffs do not trust in the independence of Vietnamese courts and fear state repression'. 87 This experience shows the network building between environmental movements in Taiwan and Vietnam, in which the Taiwanese environmental movements do not only concern themselves with environmental problems in their own country but also seek to pressure their companies to protect the environment wherever they operate.…”
