Deliberative Democracy in Taiwan
This book is a pioneering analysis of the deliberative systems approach in Taiwan, extending our understanding of Taiwanese democratic politics and consolidating links between theoretical development and the practical application of deliberative practices.
As a front-runner of new democracies in Asia and a relatively open society, Taiwan provides a model for deliberative governance, with a view towards institutional innovation and increasing democratisation. This book considers how components within the intricate web of micro- and macro-deliberative systems perform different functions, complement each other and contribute both to policy change and democratic and deliberative innovations. Specific cases are provided such as participatory budgeting in Taipei City and the governmentacademia alliance model to demonstrate the long-term systemic effects of mini-publics and citizen actions. In addition, the book proposes the possibility of deliberative democracy for other countries in the world, alongside various policy issues, including mini-publics, e-participation, co-governance, citizen science, negotiation mechanisms and the deliberative practices of indigenous peoples.
Deliberative Democracy in Taiwan will appeal to students and scholars of East Asian studies, Taiwanese politics, political science and social movement studies.
Mei-Fang Fan is Professor at the Institute of Science, Technology and Society, National Yang-Ming University and Researcher at the Risk Society and Policy Research Centre of National Taiwan University. Her research interests include environmental justice, deliberative democracy and governance. Fans recent book chapters on environmental justice in East Asia and wind turbine construction in Taiwan appeared in the Routledge Handbook of Environmental Justice (2018) and Energy Transition in East Asia (2017).

Deliberative policy-making and democratic innovations
Deliberative policy-making and democratic innovations
Deliberative democracy is the main theme in recent democratic theory. Increasingly it is also applied to the empirical study of democracy and to the practicalities of institutional design. In the last decade or so, deliberative democracy has increasingly emphasized the idea of deliberative systems. For some time, exhortations to use the deliberative systems approach have been much more common than real applications of it; still fewer are real applications that are done well. That is beginning to change, but it is rare indeed that anyone takes on a whole country in deliberative system terms. Mei-Fang Fan undertakes here what I believe to be the first book-length treatment that interprets the whole political system of a country as a potentially deliberative system. That system extends from local civic practice to the formal institutions of national government, encompassing Parliament, civic organizations, indigenous peoples, social movements, local governments, designed citizen forums, experts and social media.
Deliberative Democracy in Taiwan is, then, a truly pioneering book. Of course it should interest scholars, students and others who care about Taiwanese politics, as it provides a fresh and insightful angle on this democratizing society. But it should also be read by people in the deliberative democracy field worldwide, as an exemplary (as well as pioneering) application of the deliberative systems approach, showing exactly how it can be brought to bear at a whole-country level.
Taiwan is a particularly interesting case given that, among Asian countries, it is at the forefront in both conventional liberal democratic terms and in deliberative innovations. Many of these innovations appear in the book. But, true to the systems frame, these innovations are treated in terms of how they influence and interact with larger deliberative systems. Some of the innovations, such as mini-publics and participatory budgeting, can be found in other countries too. Others, such as Citizens Congress Watch (which monitors the performance of individual parliamentarians in deliberative terms) are Taiwan originals that deserve to be copied elsewhere. There is much that the world can and should learn from Taiwan when it comes to deliberative democratic possibilities. Of course, Taiwan is not perfect in deliberative terms, and Fan shows how its deliberative qualities could be deepened.
