| Popis: | 107 This study investigates the political partisanship of Taiwanese business, through analyzing financial information of listed company from Taiwan Economic Journal (TEJ) database and statistics on campaign contribution in the 2008 and 2012 legislative elections. There are four main findings as followed: Firstly, larger corporations are inclined to make bipartisan donations to both Kuomintang (KMT) and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Secondly, corporations with larger investment in China are more likely to donate to KMT or make bipartisan donations in 2008; however, as cross-Strait government-business networks grow further complicated, campaign contribution may not be the only way for China to manipulate the political affairs in Taiwan. Thirdly, family-owned corporations are prone to donate to KMT, which implicates the organizational imprinting effect on the partnership between family-owned corporations and KMT in the early years. Lastly, if corporations consist of more interlocking directorates, which indicates a more active engagement in market networks, they are less likely to involve in campaign contribution. |
