SUMMARY:Workshop on “Ethnic Policy in the Context of Democratic Governance: a dialogue between Taiwan and India”
DESCRIPTION:A Comparative Studies Project on Taiwan-India Democratic Governance Under t
 he Taiwan Studies Project in India \nFunded and sponsored by the Ministry o
 f Education, Taiwan, ROC  \nHosted by the Center for South and Southeast As
 ia Studies (CSSAS) FLAME University\n\nDate: July 20, 2022, Wednesday \nTim
 e: 11am to 1 pm\nZoom: https://flameuniversity.zoom.us/j/94297244943\n\nEth
 nic policies and politics are sensitively important in democracies of diffe
 rent sizes. After the lift of the martial law in 1987, Taiwan has seen diff
 erent waves of indigenous/aboriginal ethnicities. Small in numbers though, 
 the emphasis on ethnic equality has been listed as an essential agenda item
  on different political parties’ agenda for its symbolism. After several de
 cades, how has the ethnic politics in Taiwan developed? \nOn the other hand
 , for a multi-ethnically complicated democracy like India, ethnic politics 
 has many different aspects. One example is India’s northeast - located in a
  strategic region, surrounded by international borders, and historically mi
 red in separatist and inter-ethnic conflicts – has recently seen new develo
 pments such as the rise of the Hindu nationalists and political challenges 
 such as the CAA, creating inter-ethnic tensions. \nCan democracies of such 
 differences like Taiwan and India find common grounds in the study of ethni
 c policies and politics, while recognizing the differences of angles, aspec
 ts, and topics of research of ethnic policies? \nThe purpose of this worksh
 op is to enhance the mutual understanding between Taiwan and India in areas
  including ethnic policies in the democratic context of each. We hope throu
 gh conversations like this, the academic/scientific communities of Taiwan a
 nd India would have opportunities to better understand each other, as more 
 academic interactions can generate more interesting perspectives in theory 
 and/or in practice. \nAgenda:\nOpening Remarks and Intro\nParticipants\nTim
