Taiwan's local elections on November 28 could influence its next national election and shape future policy toward China, the EU, and the United States. Leading Taiwanese and international researchers and political commentators explore key questions: Will Taiwan move closer to China or deepen ties with the EU and the United States? How does growing political polarization — also seen in European democracies — affect the elections, and what role will new smaller parties play?
Panel speakers:
- Brian Hioe (New Bloom, Taiwan) – Taiwan's political situation and trends
- Dafydd Fell (SOAS University of London) – the position of smaller parties in Taiwan's democracy
- Courtney Donovan Smith (political analyst from Taiwan) – election surveys and forecasts
- Michael Danielsen (Taiwan Corner) – Taiwan's 9-in-1 elections and implications for Taiwan, the EU and Denmark
The event includes lunch and refreshments. Online participation available.
