Japan ruled Taiwan for fifty years (1895–1945). The main theme of the CCK 2010 lecture series is about Taiwan under Japanese rule. Prof. Ts’ai will discuss about how a combination of governance technology and socio-political grafting was able to shape the Japanese bureaucracy into a disciplined tool of social control. It is a study of colonial engineering. She approaches this issue by analyzing the main institutions through which Taiwan was governed.
