------------------------------------------------------ A New Era in Taiwan's Democracy Monday, October 23, 2000 9:00 a.m - 3:00 p.m. Wohlstetter Conference Center Twelfth Floor, AEI On May 20, Taiwan entered a new era of democracy as the torch of government was passed from a ruling party that has governed for the past 50 years to the opposition. In the spirit of cooperation and amity, the new president appointed a KMT member to be his premier and sought to create an "all people's government" composed of both ruling and opposition party members. But that experiment ended when the premier resigned on October 3 due to bad health. Now, with both a DPP president and a DPP premier at the helm, Taiwan enters a new era of governance and party politics. How will this impact the political environment in Taiwan? Will U.S.-Taiwan relations be affected? 8:30 a.m. Registration 9:00 Opening Remarks Speakers: King-yu Chang, Eurasian Foundation Arthur N.
