Taiwan Epochal Democracy Magazines

UDP’s Taiwan Epochal Democracy Magazines is a collection of popular political science publications from Taiwan and Hong Kong from the dynamic period 1949–2010, a time of complete transformation in greater China. The focus of these publications is questions of democracy and social development, from the perspective of relatively freer Taiwan and Hong Kong. The following publications are presented:

  • Wenxin Magazine 文星雜誌 (1957–1988)
  • Con-Temporary Monthly 當代雜誌 (1986–2010)
  • Democratic Review 民主評論 (1949–1966)
  • Formosa 美麗島 (1979)
  • The Nineties 九十年代 (1970–1998)
  • Thought and Words 思與言人文與社會科學雜誌 (1965–current)
  • Time & Tide 時與潮 (1959-1967)
  • Taiwan Political Review 臺灣政論 (1975)
  • The China Tide 夏潮 (1976-1978)
  • Taipei Society 澄社報導 (1992-1999)

As of this writing, the product comprises articles by more than 10,000 authors.

These specific titles were selected for their particular impact on the intelligentsia and youth of their generation and contribution to the evolving social climate. Among the authors are renowned scholars and sinologists, social scientists and literary writers whose contributions helped define movements of these critical decades but whose writings are not coherently collected elsewhere as a single corpus.
