Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper analyzes the evolution of Taiwan’s political parties by applying Mainwaring’s criterion-the degree of institutionalized party system. After assessing the degree of institutionalized party system, it is evident that the party system in Taiwan is weakly institutionalized. The weakly institutionalized party system can be attributed to three factors: the short period of party competition, the SNTV electoral system, and the intra-party factionalism. Also, the weakly institutionalized party system results in individualism in campaign and policy instability. However, I argue that it may not be too early to conclude that Taiwan’s party system is weakly institutionalized since the history of political parties is still not long enough to develop a concrete party system. It still needs a longer time span for scholars to observe the evolution of Taiwan’s party politics in the future.
