Candidate selection is an important part of the political process, and it has received comparatively little attention other than in some western countries. With respect to the criterion of centralization, this article analyzes the transformation of the ruling Kuomintang's (KMT) candidate selection system in Taiwan over the past five decades. The analysis draws implications for the evolution of decentralization in KMT candidate selection. Throughout this essay and in the conclusion, I note that the KMT appears likely to open its candidate selection practice in an attempt to perpetuate its dominant position in the electoral process
