| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Taiwan's economic downturn and wealth gap, under the impact of the 2008 global financial crisis, spurred livelihood/redistributive questions to become electoral issues. This paper explores the linkage between the wealth gap and electoral campaigns, and points to a new political economy trend in today's Taiwan: class mobilization has become the new driver of party politics, with identity mobilization played down. |
