AbstractThe 23rd of March 1996 was a red-letter day on the calender for Taiwanese democratisation. On that day, in accordance with constitutional amendments adopted in the summer of 1994, the Taiwanese people were called upon to vote in direct elections for their president. For Taiwan's pariah regime, and for its inhabitants, this was significant in more ways than one.
