Alternative Media and Taiwan’s Socio-Political Transformation, 1970s–1990s

This book systematically and comprehensively studies on alternative media in Taiwan, using a historical approach and primary data and first hand collected materials to examine how political openness and social movement in the 1980s through the 1990s in Taiwan enabled the rapid growth and wide development of Taiwan’s alternative media, what impact the alternative media in Taiwan had on its socio-political transformation, and what implications Taiwan’s case of alternative media has for other societies, especially for other Asian societies.

This book would be a good reading for intellectuals, media professionals, government analysts, and the general public as well, who are interested in this topic.
