- Political and social changes: democratization, electoral politics, nationalism, state and society relations, social movements, class relations, identity, and ethnic relations
- Economic development: economic restructuring , global challenges, urban and rural development and public policies
- Aborigines studies
- Gender and Sexuality Studies
- Environmental Studies
- Education
- International Relations: national security, Taiwan-China relations, and Taiwan-U.S. relations

Taiwan to a great degree. |
