課程介紹
This course is designed to familiarize students with the major themes and research in the area of voting behavior and elections. There are two important components to this course: the required reading and the independent research project. The readings provide students with a broad overview of the important literature in different areas of research on voting behavior. The independent project will be the analysis of selected elections in Taiwan.
Most of the class meetings will focus on assigned readings. Students are expected to have completed the readings and come to class ready to discuss important aspects of those readings. Student will be assigned to present the readings each week. Those who are not responsible to the topic that week not only should read the material but also need to prepare the critical questions for discussions.
The independent research project will take the form of a paper on the aspect of presidential or legislative elections in Taiwan. Students will take this opportunity to apply the electoral theory into reality analysis. Although students are flexible to define the important and interesting topic for the election, it may cover the importance of election outcome, the implication to the future public policy, the impact to the future party politics, etc. A final oral presentation for each student is required.
