This dissertation attempts to explain how a political regime has impacted the ebb and flow of Minnan Taiwanese ethnonationalism. In this dissertation, I trace the Kuomingtang (KMT) regime's changes in elite integration and organizational control over the mass-elite linkages and their impacts on the Minnan Taiwanese political elites' ethnonational consciousness and mobilization. Through the historical comparison of the KMT regime's institutional features from 1945 to 1996, I find that elite integration and organizational control over the elite-mass linkages are two crucial factors that have shaped institutional cohesiveness and, consequently, the incentive and opportunity structures of Minnan Taiwanese ethnonationalism. Specifically, the KMT regime's relatively high degree of institutional cohesiveness, which was forged through its party reconstruction, dual elite structure, clientalism and organizational penetration into the local society in the period of the 1950s-70s, was eroded because of the expansion of supplementary elections and factional power struggles, which explains the rise of Taiwanese ethnonational mobilization in 1983-94. Hence, the emergence of Minnan Taiwanese ethnonationalism is the result of the erosion of the KMT regime's institutional cohesiveness.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The above empirical investigation indicates that, while ethnonational mobilization is the result of politicization of authentic or imagined ethnonational identity, the political regime's features impact the political elites' motivation and ability in dealing with ethnonationalism. Historical institutionalism is a better analytic framework than primordialism and instrumentalism in explaining the timing and dynamics of ethnonational mobilization. Moreover, compared to conventional constitutional differentiation of centralization vs. decentralization, institutional cohesiveness is a better analytical tool in exploring the inception of ethnonational consciousness and the rise of ethnonational mobilization.
