“…Meanwhile, Taiwan citizens have undergone significant adjustment in their identities with an increasing number of the island citizens viewing themselves as Taiwanese, with few of them subscribing to the Chinese identity. In this context, significant backlash to Ma’s China-friendly policy occurred in 2014 culminating in a massive protest known as the Sunflower Movement (Tsai, 2019). Many Taiwan residents feared that intense cross-Strait economic interactions would increase the island country’s vulnerability.…”

This special section includes four papers to examine the ups and downs of the relationship between Taiwan and China. While both sides of the Taiwan Strait have different political systems, these studies show that domestic politics play a central role in explaining the oscillation of the cross-Strait relationship. The findings provide evidence of the interaction between domestic and external factors. Leaders in Beijing and Taipei therefore need to take heed of the internal forces of both sides of the Taiwan Strait in addressing their contentious relationship.

“…More recent scholars have argued that an assertive citizenship has burgeoned in Asia (Welzel and Dalton, 2017), a function of the traditional explanations for action stemming from resources Denton, 2016), efficacy (Sanborn, 2015;Tsai, 2019), mobilization (Dinas, 2014;Finkel and Opp, 1991;Rosenstone and Hansen, 1993), and social capital (Putnam, 2000;van Deth, 2000).

“…More of this research has concentrated on democracies (e.g. Ikeda et al, 2012;Katsanidou and Eder, 2018;Sanborn, 2015Sanborn, , 2018Tsai, 2019) and less on potential differences between democracies and authoritarian systems. Far fewer studies assess differences in perceptions of democracy, governance, and political action across regime types (Denton, 2016;Pietsch, 2015).…”

In this article, we consider the attitudinal motivations for political participation in countries across Asia. Specifically, we assess how trust in different types of institutional actors provides incentives for extra-legal actions, such as protest and the use of force, by analyzing the behaviors of individuals based upon their evaluations of representational and implementing institutions. As part of this analysis, we consider attitudes and action in both democracies and non-democracies, arguing for separate mechanisms to motivate unconventional political participation. Using Asian Barometer Survey data, we find that individuals living under democratic regimes are motivated to engage in more costly forms of participation in response to their assessments of trust in elected officials, while those individuals residing in non-democracies engage in these high-risk activities when they are dissatisfied with the performance of the police, civil service, and courts.
