Social Forces in the Re-Making of Cross-Strait Relations: Hegemony and Social Movements in Taiwan: Routledge Research on Taiwan Series
Autor André Beckershoffen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 aug 2023
Presenting a careful analysis of primary sources and interviews, the book reconstructs the historical, political and socio-economic factors that shaped Taiwan’s path to the Sunflower Movement of 2014, reinterpreting this process as a struggle over Taiwan’s role in the global economy. It challenges received wisdoms regarding the rise and fall of the rapprochement: First, the study argues that the rapprochement was not primarily driven by political elites but by capitalist conglomerates within Taiwan, which sought a normalisation of economic relations across the Taiwan Strait. Second, it finds that Taiwan’s social movements during that period were not homogeneous but rather struggled to find a common vision that could unite the critics of the rapprochement.
The insights provided not only offer a deeper understanding of Taiwan’s protest cycle between 2008 and 2014, but also serve to recontextualise the political dynamics in post-Sunflower Taiwan. As such it will appeal to students and scholars of Taiwan Studies, East Asian Politics and Social Movement Studies.

Recenzii
"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
