Taiwan democracy vs. Chinese authoritarianism: http://tinyurl.com/yswkuy "Alternate Civilities: Democracy and Culture in China and Taiwan", by Robert P. Weller: New Ed edition (March 23, 2001): http://tinyurl.com/yswkuy Amazon.com's Customer Reviews: ' Oustanding comparative sociology of emerging "civil society" ', May 28, 2002: Reviewer: Stephen O. Murray (San Francisco, CA USA): By comparing civil society in contemporary China to that in Taiwan before and after the lifting of martial law in 1987, in Alternate Civilities, Boston University professor Robert P. Weller shows that democracy can grow out of Chinese cultural roots and authoritarian institutions. Both the Chinese communist party leadership and the similarly geriatric authoritarianism of Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew have justified their rule by some essential Chinese need for paternalist domination and claimed that human rights are a form of neocolonial and ethnocentric meddling from the West, and should not be allowed to disrupt the splendid Confucian subordination of individuals to collectivity. This view of necessary passivity -- an extreme version of cultural determinism -- is belied by the recent history of Taiwan. After half a century as a colony of Japan and half a century under brutally repressive Kuomintang martial law, democracy and civil society have blossomed in the last fifteen years. These days Taiwan is more democratic than its former tutor, the United States: there are election campaigns going on seemingly all the time in Taiwan, there is more real freedom of the press, and the candidate with the most votes in the 2000 election there became president. Weller's comparison of civil society in Taiwan and in the PRC focused on business organizations, religious groups, environmental movements, and women's networks, synthesizing a wealth of detail about "horizontal associations" (i.e., associations between equals in contrast to vertical relationships to the state apparatus or the deference to and domination by elders within families). Weller justly claims that "by comparing China with the vibrant democracy that has developed over the last decade in Taiwan, I show how civil society can grow out of Chinese cultural roots and authoritarian institutions. "He is not so rash as to argue that a vibrant civil society and democracy will necessarily blossom in China, only that the often invoked essential need for authoritarian rule has been disconfirmed. It seems to me that, like most American social scientists who look through Taiwan to see China (whether a past or future one), Weller underestimates the extent of non-Chinese influences on Taiwan, including not only 20th-century Japanese and then American ones, but that Taiwan was incorporated into production for export in the early 17th century by European footholds (on an island never completed controlled by any imperial Chinese dynasty). South Korea provides another comparison of a society for which earlier authoritarian rulers claimed a Confucian duty to repress the "disorder" of public criticism. Like Taiwan, Korea was a Japanese colony (1910-45) and a flowering of civil society and democratization occurred during the 1990s. Weller discusses material on voluntary associations from Taiwan and China interestingly, and his book is an important contribution to the comparative study of post-authoritarian sociopolitical transformation. "" #3. Taiwan's gift to Austronesian language family: http://tinyurl.com/38gs5k 'Taiwan’s gift to the world', by Jared M. Diamond: "" Study of the giant Austronesian language family tells us a great deal about the history of Pacific peoples and boatbuilding, as well as about Aboriginal Australia. Figure 1: The geographical span of Austronesian languages. This language family encompasses alllanguages spoken on all Pacific islands from Sumatra in the west to Easter Island in the east, except forthe Papuan languages of New Guinea and a few adjacent islands. They are also spoken in Madagascarand in mainland Malaysia. From the work2discussed here, it turns out that of the ten subgroups ofAustronesian languages, nine are confined to Taiwan (red circle), and that all Austronesian languagesoutside Taiwan belong to the tenth subgroup (green), which includes Polynesian languages (darkgreen; only a few of the hundreds of Polynesian islands are shown here).
