| Σύνοψη: | Cheng-Tian Kuo sets a high academic goal to achieve in this book: to examine the relations between state and religion through the lens of democratization in Taiwan. To be sure, there has been a significant amount of scholarship accumulated on Taiwanese democratization. But scholars tend to be preoccupied with either internal party politics or the impact of Taiwan's democratization on its relations with China. As Kuo correctly points out, no major study has yet compared the relations between democracy and all major Taiwanese religions. This is troublesome—given various religions' prevalent influence on the Taiwanese citizenry. On this ground, Kuo's book is a welcome effort to enrich our understanding of this emerging democracy. |
