This study focuses on the contribution of the media in Taiwan toward the process of political institutionalization and democratization. The introduction points out that Chinese tradition has spawned an elaborate set of techniques that enable writers to communicate meaning implicitly, for the sake of remaining within the boundaries of socially or politically acceptable behavior. The first chapter discusses the significance of the Taiwan experience with regard to the concept of modernization and its main competing paradigm, known as dependency theory. The second chapter deals with institutionalization, which is presented as a framework for understanding changes in developing countries in general and Taiwan in particular. The third chapter offers an overview and critique of the literature on political communication. It proposes ten focuses of study, as alternatives to the dominant "message effects" research orientation. In chapter four, an examination of the Chinese press during the late Ch'ing and Republican eras shows that the subject under study can only be understood as part of a long, evolutionary process. Chapter five relates the history of politics and the press on Taiwan from 1945 to 1990, as a case study in the realm of communication theory. It argues in part that through conferral of status to innovators and broadening the parameters of permissible debate by continually testing the limits of acceptable expression, the media can serve to speed the pace of change and reform. Chapter six demonstrates that all three opposition political movements in Taiwan since 1949 have centered around political opinion magazines. The Taiwan Political Review established a model of the political opinion magazine that could be used to work toward change within the system, building a political party apparatus that could eventually emerge at the proper time, fully formed, from the recesses of its journalistic cover to smooth the transition to a democratic political system. The conclusion attempts an answer to the question as to what about the experience of Taiwan is unique and what may be regarded as universal. It offers suggestions for further research and some speculation about how television and its associated technologies are likely to accelerate current trends.Subjects--Topical Terms:
