Taiwan's Precarious Politics

The first episode is hosted by Dr Ben Hopper, in conversation with Professor Margaret Lewis.

Taiwan is frequently described as a 'vibrant democracy,' but behind this simple phrase is a complex landscape of ever-shifting domestic politics. This episode, recorded in August 2025, delves into dynamics since President Lai took the helm in May 2024, with a focus on the 2025 Taiwanese recall votes. It also provides essential background on Taiwan’s government structure and political history.
