| 摘要: | 摘要: On 29 November 2014, Taiwan held the largest series of local elections in its history, in a nine-in-one format combining polls for 11,130 positions, ranging from mayors of municipalities and cities (zhixiashi/shizhang), county magistrates (xianzhang), city and county councillors (shi/xian yihuiyuan), township chiefs (zhenzhang), and village and borough chiefs (cunzhang), to indigenous district chiefs and councillors (zhixiashi shandi yuanzhumin quzhang, qumin daibiao). All were elected for four-year terms. Two-and-a-half years into the second presidential term of Ma Ying-jeou, the nation-wide elections were seen as a mid-term test for his administration and a prelude to the next legislative and presidential elections in early 2016. The big prizes consisted of the six special municipalities of Taipei, New Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and, for the first time, Taoyuan. They represent around 70% of Taiwan's 18.5 million registered voters, with the other 30% distributed among 16 counties and cities of smaller size or more rural character. 出版者: Centre d'étude français sur la Chine contemporaine 出版日期: 2015 出處: China perspectives, 2015, Vol.2015 (1 (101)), p.55-61 資源來源: EBSCOhost OmniFile Full Text Select 版權: Copyright © 2015 - China Perspectives 識別號: ISSN: 2070-3449 識別號: EISSN: 1996-4617 識別號: DOI: 10.4000/chinaperspectives.6657 |
