"[…] Politicized Society: The Long Shadow of Taiwan’s One Party Legacy is a skillfully organized, well written, and sophisticated─but not dense and opaque work of scholarship─that is a wonder for what it is and a gift for what it is not—another heavily statistical and theory-laden tome that seems to be the norm in discipline of modern political science.
