Abstract
This chapter deals with the political repercussions of popular discontent
towards several secondary issues in Taiwan prompting a mainstream
political formation like the DPP to revert to its early pro-environmental
and social justice rhetoric to attract voters for the 2016 electoral tournament;
several activists and academics that trace their origins to
the social movements’ galaxy were drafted by the DPP upon winning
the elections. The aim of this chapter is to verify whether four years
later concrete results have been achieved or whether the activists have
become quieter after joining the ruling party. This chapter consolidates
research on interactions and conflicts between the state trying to
exert more influence across several fields and newly emerging/wellestablished
social movements under the Ma Ying-jeou and Tsai Ing-wen
administrations.
