Biography
Dafydd Fell
"This is a skillfully presented and very well-organized book that moves from chapter to chapter smoothly and efficently. It never buries its readers under mountains of data and thus is also a book that reads easily. Fell does not overwhelm the reader with jargon or with an overabundance of theory...By taking this tack, he makes Party Politics in Taiwan accessible and interesting to a wider audience than many other books on Taiwan's present-day political system this reviewer has read over the course of his 26 years spent studying Taiwan."--Murray A Rubenstein, Pacific Affairs, Vol 79 No 1, Spring 2006
