    von 陳翠蓮 …
    Serien Buch 52 - 春山之聲
    「一本在最近三十年出現的新的史料條件以及研究成果上，展現臺灣戰後政治史研究新水準的作品。」──若林正丈（東京大學、早稻田大學名譽教授，《戰後臺灣政治史：中華民國臺灣化的歷程》作者）在新的歷史時刻，重探我們的過去，思索我們的未來。近幾年來美中關係急遽轉變，臺海安全屢屢成為焦點。這是自一九七〇年代美中建交以來，國際局勢最大的轉向，將嚴重牽動臺灣命運，本書作者認為一個新的歷史時刻已到來。然而，過去臺灣社會長期處在威權統治之下，對集體命運無力也無從關心；威權時代鋪天蓋地的政治宣傳更導致民眾對自身國際處境或是無感、或是多有誤解。此種狀態延續至今，許多人對臺灣境遇仍缺乏認識，對臺灣民主化過程懵然不知，甚至歸功於蔣經國仁慈推動。為此，本書全面梳理了二戰結束迄今臺灣主要的政治發展過程，並從「美國政府—國民黨政府—臺灣社會」三方關係加以觀察分析。作者希望透過對這段歷史的回溯與借鏡 … Lesen Sie mehr
