Democracy, Women's Political Empowerment, and Road Safety
The shifting social foundations of public trust in Taiwan’s military
Democracies threatened by war require strong solidarity between society and military. This article uses the case of Taiwan to test recent findings in the literature on civil–military relations regarding the influence of partisanship on public trust in a country’s military. As an émigré ‘party-army’ which retreated to Taiwan after the Chinese Nationalists were defeated in the Chinese Civil War, Taiwan’s military has a strong historical association…
Visible Fists
This article explores the performance of Taiwanese business groups in China before and after Xi Jinping’s rule. It delves into the relationship between an authoritarian regime and foreign direct investment, an area where empirical research of firms in China is lacking. Utilising data from 1995 to 2022 encompassing 550 Taiwanese business groups and the top 5,000 firms, our analysis reveals that firms with higher pre-2012 investments in China exper…
Introduction
Reactivating a movement legacy
The Buck Rogers Background
This article explores how science fiction (sf) furnished a common set of beliefs about the future and about technology that shaped the development of the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the United States' first operational ICBM, drawing on corporate archival research, oral history interviews, and close textual analysis of primary sources. It introduces the concept of the "sf stance": the shared and situated subject perspective to…
Northern Hemisphere Urban Heat Stress and Associated Labor Hour Hazard from ERA5 Reanalysis
Increasing surface air temperature is a fundamental characteristic of a warming world. Rising temperatures have potential impacts on human health through heat stress. One heat stress metric is the wet-bulb globe temperature, which takes into consideration the effects of radiation, humidity, and wind speed. It also has broad health and environmental implications. This study presents wet-bulb globe temperatures calculated from the fifth-generation …
Government-sponsored disinformation and the severity of respiratory infection epidemics including Covid-19
For security or sustainability? Investigating the global nexus of nuclear power, democracies, and civil society
The Political Economy of Football
Autocracy login
This study discusses whether the internet contributes to the rise of civil society or provides the state with a means to suppress civil society. By examining cross-sectional time-series data of 153 countries from 1995 to 2018, this study demonstrates that internet censorship is a reactive strategy used by autocracies to suppress civil society. Although rapid internet diffusion might undermine internet censorship in autocracies, since the Arab Spr…
Subcontractors’ Dilemma
Since the 1970s development studies have conveyed an impression of Taiwanese firms as being active small and medium-sized enterprises ( sme s) with flexibility to successfully survive in a competitive global market. On the contrary, we use the unbalanced panel data of 2,969 top manufacturers during 2002–2015 to explore why and how Taiwanese firms expanded their scale and scope of operations in the new century. Our findings indicate that Taiwanese…
Manufacturing Suicide
This article examines how global value chains (GVCs) have shaped a world factory regime, based on the case study of the Foxconn group in Shenzhen, China. We identify three features that characterize a world factory regime: the GVCs’ impacts, the fragmented structure of corporate governance, and workplace despotism, and propose a concept of “global fragmented despotism” to explain changing labor conditions, workers’ suicides and resistance uncover…
Governing Natural Disasters
From the perspective of historical institutionalism, I argue that state capacity, democracy, and their interaction shape the distribution of human vulnerability in natural disasters. The ruling elite, irrespective of whether it is democratic, has the incentive to develop state capacity to prevent damage caused by natural disasters, which is considered a threat to its rule and revenue. To win elections in a democracy, the elite may increase public…
SP1-113 Clinical correlation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in a Chinese taxi drivers population in Taiwan
Introduction To explore any gender-related differences in prevalence of and condition-associated factors related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among Taiwanese taxi drivers in Taipei, Taiwan. Methods We studied 1635 healthy taxi drivers (1541 males and 94 females) voluntarily admitted to physical check-up in 2006. Blood samples and ultrasound-proved fatty liver sonography results were collected. Result The prevalence of NAFLD was 66…
