| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the impact of resource inequalities, also referred to as party capabilities, on defamation litigation between 2000 and 2011 in an attempt to determine whether or not Taiwan’s three-tier court system, consisting of district courts, high courts, and the Supreme Court, is politically biased in its judgments. The empirical findings reveal that superior resources, in terms of party affiliation, election results, sociopolitical connections, and judicial procedure, give defendants a limited advantage in trials involving defamation in campaigns. This study concludes that concern for social stability, legitimacy, and political development in nascent democratic systems could lead to weaker parties being favored by the judiciary, allowing them to come out ahead and achieve an advantage over stronger parties in litigation outcomes.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the two contending theories of racial issues or ethnic politics, namely, the “contact” and “group threat” theories, in an attempt to learn how increased exposure to and contact with China affect Taiwanese people’s perceptions of China. More explicitly, faced with China’s rising power and changes in cross-Strait relations, the attitudes and sentiments of the general public in Taiwan could either become friendlier or more hostile to China. This study employs a randomized telephone survey, and statistical analysis of the data has allowed us to identify a clear trend of increased exposure leading to more positive opinions of China, confirming the contact theory. Furthermore, these positive impressions have encouraged the very same people to display a willingness to continue interactions with China. This phenomenon understates the unchanging reality that close economic ties between the two sides have overcome, at least to some degree, the sense of hostility across the Taiwan Strait.
