What can Taiwan teach the world, what can the world teach Taiwan? Lessons from the 2024 “Year of Elections.” which studies and explains the global trends in voting behaviour, the role of political institutions in shaping that behaviour, the ability of campaigns and parties to change voter attitudes, and the slow creep of democratic backsliding, in the “Year of Elections.” Approximately 25% of the people on the planet have, or are expected to, vote in elections held that year, including India, Indonesia, the European Union, the United States, Bangladesh, Mexico, Turkey, France, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Portugal, Lithuania, and in particular Taiwan. In contrast to many other democracies, Taiwanese democratic institutions have strengthened despite authoritarian backsliding around the world and a hostile authoritarian neighbour which threatens its existence. We anticipate this conference will be the foundation of a larger literature on elections studies, geopolitics, democratization, and representation.
