The Center for Taiwan Studies at UC San Diego, in collaboration with the 21st Century China Center (21CCC) at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, is excited to host the public lecture: "Why Do Legislators Brawl? Lawmaking, Fist Fighting, and Messaging in Taiwan."
Join us for an in-depth discussion to understand legislative brawling as a form of political communication in Taiwan. Rather than being impulsive, brawlers are strategic actors trying to advance their political careers by sending a message about themselves to a target audience. Taiwan’s extensive history of legislative brawls provides a unique window to observe this logic in action. We’re honored to have Prof. Nathan Batto, Associate Research Fellow at the Academia Sinica, and Prof. Ping-hui Liao at UC San Diego, as our speakers.
We encourage you and your organization to join us for this fascinating discussion. Please register using the link below and feel free to share with your team and networks.
