Abstract
Political parties in Taiwan share many similarities with contemporary parties in Western Europe, as the party in public office is clearly the dominant organizational element. However, as our analysis will show, each of the parties arrived at this stage not through an ‘evolutionary leap’, but through following a very distinctive path of organizational development, constrained by both the inter-factional conflict within them and the particular environmental context.
