Chung-li Wu is Distinguished Research Fellow, Institute of Political Science, Academia Sinica, and also Adjunct Professor of Political Science, National Chung Cheng University. In the past years, my research interests have focused on three academic fields including electoral studies, party politics, and minority politics.

In regard to electoral studies, the related topics have included straight-ticket and split-ticket voting, electoral stability and change/volatility, the impacts of evaluating the government performance upon electoral choices, research controversies over local factions in Taiwan’s politics, political analyses of the judicial domain, and appraisals and critiques of multi-member districts with a single nontransferable voting (SNTV) system.

In laying emphasis on party politics, the topics I have researched include analyzing and evaluating the candidate selection system, discussing the concept of party identification, and comparing the causes and consequences of divided and unified government at both the central and local levels with the relationship between the executive and legislative branches.

In relation to minority politics, I have continued to study the political attitudes and voting behavior of African-Americans in the United States. Of particular note, I have recently made more of an attempt to cite Western theoretical perspectives, and employ them to the study of ethnic politics in Taiwan, e.g., the impacts that political empowerment may have on the political attitudes and voting behavior of minority ethnic groups, including the Hakka and Mainlanders.

To sum up, while these research topics may be varied, a common thread that runs through them is that they combine Western theoretical frameworks with practical politics in Taiwan.
