Democratization and Financial Reform in Taiwan: The Political Economy of Bad-Loan Creation
This study shows that many bad loans now burdening Taiwan's financial institutions are interrelated with the society's democratization which started in the late 1980s. Democratization made the local factions and business groups more independent from the Kuomintang government. They acquired more political influence than under the authoritarian regime. These changes induced them to manage their owned financial institutions more arbitrarily and to intervene more frequently in the state-affiliated financial institutions. Moreover they interfered in financial reform and compelled the government to allow many more new banks than it had originally planned. As a result the financial system became more competitive and the qualities of loans deteriorated. Some local factions and business groups exacerbated the situation by establishing banks in order to funnel funds to themselves, sometimes illegally. Thus many bad loans were created as the side effect of democratization.Taiwan, Politics, Economy, Democratization, Finance
Jurachresmoda Zhang, Ren, Pang & Shih, 2008, gen. nov.
Genus Jurachresmoda gen. nov. Zhang, Ren and Shih Type species. Jurachresmoda gaskelli sp. nov. Zhang, Ren and Shih Etymology. The generic name is a combination of the Jurassic and Chresmoda (the type genus of this family). Gender: feminine. Diagnosis. Antennae, filiform, with more than 18 segments, are shorter than the fore femora, and covered with short hairs. Mid femora are the longest. Mesothorax is elongated, length ratio of prothorax: mesothorax: metathorax is approximately 3.0: 5.6: 3.3. Female possesses long wings, which exceeding the body length (included the ovipositor). Comparison. Jurachresmoda is closely related to Chresmoda Germar, 1839, but can be distinguished by the following characters: elongate mesothorax and long and segmented cerci in the nymph are absent in Chresmoda. Saurophthiroides Ponomarenko, 1986, is represented only by one specimen (probably a nymph) without wings. The nymph of the new genus differs from it by larger body size, longer antennae, wings buds and segmented cerci. Sinochresmoda Zhang, Ren & Pang, 2008, can be distinguished from Jurachresmoda by characters that the fore tibia is shorter, approximately 40 % of the femur length. Wings are short in Sinochresmoda, not exceeding the length of abdomen; but long in Jurachresmoda, exceeding the length of the abdomen. In addition, the shape of antenna and fringing hairs along the wings are unique in Sinochresmoda.Published as part of Zhang, Xin-Wen, Ren, Dong, Pang, Hong & Shih, Chung-Kun, 2008, A water-skiing chresmodid from the Middle Jurassic in Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China (Polyneoptera: Orthopterida), pp. 53-62 in Zootaxa 1762 on page 54, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18195

The political role of the people's liberation army 1949-1973
