| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The short history of the Taiwanese Communist Party (Taiwan gongchandang ? ? ? ? ?) (1928-1931) offers a window into the negotiative polity of international communism during the Third Period (1928-1934). The Party was established during the time when the Comintern intensified its operations in colonies and promoted the organization of communist parties there. Its demise was the result of government suppression that occurred as a reaction to their increased public activity in 1931, allegedly at the direction of the Comintern. This paper examines the Comintern's role in the Taiwanese communist movement and shows that the Taiwanese communists were active agents (rather than passive tools) in their relationship with the Comintern. |
