摘要： This year's Taiwan elections gave the Democratic Progressive Party a clear mandate to rule Taiwan again. Since 2014 Taiwanese millennials have played a decisive role in Taiwan's significant democratic change. The elections can be appreciated best in the context of the changing state-civil society relations of the preceding eight years of 2008-2015. The revival of civil society activism since 2008 and the explosive force of the Sunflower Movement in 2014 finally transmitted social activism into electoral politics. President Tsai responded to these changes in her inaugural address by placing cross-Strait relations in the context of regional peace and stability and making no mention of the“1992 Consensus.” Instead, she emphasized domestic development and reforms to safeguard Taiwan to be a democratic and free country. 出版者： Greenwich: Elsevier Inc 出版日期： 2016 出處： Orbis (Philadelphia), 2016, Vol.60 (4), p.504-514 版權： 2016 版權： Copyright Elsevier Science Ltd. 2016 識別號： ISSN: 0030-4387 識別號： EISSN: 1873-5282 識別號： DOI: 10.1016/j.orbis.2016.08.006 識別號： CODEN: ORBSAS
