Popis: Based on the framework of multi-scalar analysis, this article investigates the impacts of party politics on interregional development and governance by looking at the case of Taiwan, 1994–2008. It argues that the development of political democratization in Taiwan since the mid-1990s, although facilitated by the transformation of party politics, was disassociated with an interregional political divide and had complicated the governance issues of interregional transformation at national and transnational levels in Taiwan. The multiple conflicting forces and processes of party politics unexpectedly fragmented the political governances of interregional development at national and transnational levels and impacted its future development.
