2026-09-30驚滔駭浪: 二十一世紀中國陰影下的台灣 Stormy Seas: Taiwan Under the Shadow of China in the 21st Century🌕中秋連假充電完畢，下週一準備好給大腦來一場深度饗宴了嗎？面對強大威權鄰國的壓力，台灣該如何捍衛民主？ 林宗弘老師將透過太陽花運動、支援香港抗爭到2024近期社運等案例，帶我們深入解析台灣公民社會的「民主韌性」！🗳️演講報名倒數中！ 趕快手刀預留時間完成報名吧！📔演講主題：驚滔駭浪: 二十一世紀中國陰影下的台灣Stormy Seas: Taiwan Under the Shadow of China in the 21st Century🎤主講人：林宗弘 LIN Thung-Hong 中央研究院社會學研究所研究員（Research Fellow, Institute of Sociology, Academia Sinica）🎙️與談人：林玿弘 Lin Shao Hong 台灣資訊環境研究中心資料工程師 ( Data Engineer, Information Operations Research Group)📖主持人：何明修 Ming-sho Ho 臺大社會系特聘教授、亞比中心主任 (Director of the GARC and Distinguished Professor of the Department of Sociology, National Taiwan University)⏰時間：2026年10月05日(一)12:30-14:00📍地點：臺大社會社工系館319室摘要：一個小型民主國家，如何抵抗一個強大威權鄰國的影響？台灣經常因其成功的經濟發展與和平的民主轉型而受到讚譽，被視為其他發展中國家的典範。然而，台灣同時面臨來自內部政治分歧與外部地緣政治壓力的重大挑戰。台灣的政治版圖受到多重政治分歧所形塑：國族認同與族群差異、經濟不平等與階級衝突，以及世代與文化差異。對台灣民主而言，最大的挑戰來自中國的影響，中國透過經濟槓桿、宣傳操作與政治干預，利用並擴大這些社會裂痕。在北京銳實力（sharp power）的強力影響下，台灣的民主經常面臨倒退的威脅。每當中國升高其施壓策略時，台灣的公民社會便會動員回應，在抵抗北京的策略與捍衛民主制度方面扮演關鍵角色。林宗弘透過多個案例研究——包括2014年的太陽花運動、2019年對香港抗爭的支持，以及2024年的近期社會運動——說明台灣充滿活力的公民社會如何成為民主韌性的關鍵來源。本書同時將台灣的處境置於美中關係的宏觀脈絡之中，指出過去半個世紀的全球地緣政治如何形塑這座島嶼的命運。報名連結：https://forms.gle/2pTcnL3bBErdPaeo8海報請參考附件，本講座採中文主講，謝謝！亞比中心中文官網：https://garc.ntu.edu.tw/%e3%80%90%e4%ba%9e%e6%af%94%e4%b8%ad%e5%bf%83%e7%b3%bb%e5%88%97%e8%ac%9b%e5%ba%a7%e3%80%91%e9%a9%9a%e6%bb%94%e9%a7%ad%e6%b5%aa-%e4%ba%8c%e5%8d%81%e4%b8%80%e4%b8%96%e7%b4%80%e4%b8%ad%e5%9c%8b%e9%99%b0/亞比中心英文官網：https://garc.ntu.edu.tw/en/speech-stormy-seas-taiwan-under-the-shadow-of-china-in-the-21st-century/亞比中心FB：https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19pbV4X3b3/亞比中心twitter：https://x.com/ntugarc/status/2104761005960249789/photo/1亞比中心instagram：https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd2snZqibcX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==亞比中心threads：https://www.threads.com/share/BmKzhl_hAM/－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

2026-09-20[本所新書]臺灣的淨零轉型：東亞發展型環境主義視角 [New Book]Taiwan in Net-Zero Transition: An East Asian Perspective on Developmental Environmentalism《臺灣淨零轉型》英文專書－Taiwan in Net-Zero Transition－An East Asian Perspective on Developmental Environmentalism作者周桂田於本書中探究臺灣淨零轉型的結構困境、心態、挑戰與出路。本書以臺灣作為代表性案例，呈現東亞國家在追求全球淨零碳排目標時的結構性挑戰，檢視發展型環境主義（developmental environmentalism）在東亞脈絡下的命題。臺灣面臨多重挑戰，包括國內外淨零碳排驅動壓力、地緣政治經濟競爭、內部高碳產業結構以及褐色經濟社會之路徑依賴。在這樣的分析框架下，基於發展型環境主義和臺灣案例特徵，「發展型淨零主義」（developmental netzeroism）概念為東亞國家作為高碳製造系統和全球供應鏈一部分的氣候治理特性提供了洞見。本書對於關注亞洲和台灣在淨零轉型過程中受到的政治、經濟及社會情勢影響的研究人員和政策制定者而言，具有極高的參考價值。本書已於2025年3月由Routledge同步出版實體書與電子書，歡迎各界推薦選購！（以上文字內容轉自臺大風險中心，詳細資訊請參考連結）

2026-09-20[本所新書]Contested Taiwan-Sovereignty, Social Movements, and Party Formation [NEW BOOK]Contested Taiwan-Sovereignty, Social Movements, and Party Formation本所南樂教授新書出版專書探討台灣受威脅的主權如何影響社會運動及政黨的形成--Where statehood is contested, questions of identity and territory define the political landscapeDespite maintaining de facto sovereignty, states like Taiwan find themselves unrecognized in today’s international system because another power claims the state as part of their territory. This fraught status, in turn, significantly affects the domestic politics of these places.Lev Nachman’s exploration of Taiwan’s political landscape after the 2014 Sunflower Movement brings a fresh perspective to understanding social movement mobilization and political party formation in what he terms “contested states.” In these states, political cleavages are defined not by traditional left-right issues but by questions of identity, territory, and what to do about the country that claims them. Drawing from 150 interviews with Taiwanese activists and politicians, as well as a comparative analysis of Ukraine, Nachman reveals that traditional political science theories fall short when explaining the formation of movement parties in such contexts. Instead, he argues, looming existential threats and strained relationships between activists and established proindependence parties drive social movements into formal political arenas.Contested Taiwanoffers a new approach to understanding contested statehood, movement party formation, and what motivates individuals to take political action across the world.(source: University of Washington Press)

2026-09-20[本所新書]Engineers and the Two Taiwans-The Abnormal Club [New Book]Engineers and the Two Taiwans-The Abnormal Club本所張國暉教授、美國維吉尼亞理工州大戴格理教授、賓州州大施博仁博士合著新書出版。國內多所大學圖書館已收藏，亦可線上購入。About this bookThe identity of Taiwan is a matter of intense local and international debate. This book shows how engineers helped produce two distinct visions of the land of Taiwan and its people, elevating the value of engineering as a career path in the process. The book describes how the technical work of engineers, which typically avoids partisan politics, can actually contribute to partisan differences and conflict. In most countries, the rise of engineering is about the emergence of a single dominant vision of the country. In Taiwan, two distinct visions of the land and its people emerged, owing to the presence of two distinct geographical identities—islanders and mainlanders.The distributed mode of production in the electronics industry proved to be transformative and created an “abnormal boys’ club” of engineers, as one group called themselves. Because the two communities were influenced by contrasting geographical identities, they felt as though they were working for different Taiwans."What a book. Engineers and the Two Taiwans traces how engineers creatively crafted professional identities and pathways in the cracks of multiple, shifting empires – and in so doinghelped create Taiwan as a thing-unto-itself. In showing how engineers shaped and were shapedby geopolitics and the birth of a new electronics industry, the book opens up fresh perspectiveson longstanding questions about who engineers are, how they are trained, where they ought towork, and ultimately what engineering is for. These engineers did politics through their materialcommitments even as they avoided partisan politics." Jessica M. Smith, Editor-in-chief, Engineering Studies, Professor, Engineering, Design, and Society Department, Colorado School of Mines"This book explores Taiwan’s dynamic industrial evolution over the past century through thelens of different engineers’ social dynamics, identity, values, and compelling narratives. It offersinsights into Taiwanese own perceptions in the electronics industry and prompts reflection onhow countries navigate domestic and international technology policies and social progress.You will come to appreciate how engineers in Taiwan today bear continuing responsibilities toconnect their technical work to its land and people, even when their own commitments differfrom one another." Minn-Tsong Lin, Deputy Minister, National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan, Distinguished Professor, Department of Physics, National Taiwan University(Source: Springer Nature)
