Abstract
This book aims to study the dynamic relationships between regime
democratization and intra-party democratization.
Reviewing the cases of Taiwan (the Kuomintang,
the Democratic Progressive Party) and Hong Kong (the Hong Kong Democratic
Party, the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong and the
Hong Kong Liberal Party), it seeks to show that
regime democratization propels intra-party democratization. Adopting
Albert Hirschman's "voice and exit" mechanism, this book
develops a contingency model to explain intra-party democratization
that occurs in a wave of regime democratization.
