Institute of Political Science at Academia Sinica

My research mainly focuses on establishing general theory based on cross-national comparative studies and traditional political theories. I divide my research interests into three fields: First, I keep working on the party-legislator relations and focus on legislators’ party switching. Second, I survey the political environment of the 7th Legislative Yuan and estimate each legislator’s ideological position. Last, I introduce new quantitative analysis methods to social science and apply them to cross-national studies.
