The Influence of Regime Type on Economic Policies: The Case of Taiwan

Another aspect of studying regime type as a dominant factor of economic policy would be to study one country which has undergone changes in regime type in a short period of time in history and then see how the different regimes types within the same country have affected economic policy.
