Lev Nachman reveals that traditional political science theories fall short when explaining the formation of movement parties in such contexts. Instead\, he argues that looming existential threats and strained relationships between activists and established pro-independence parties drive social movements into formal political arenas. \nSpeaker’s Bio: Lev Nachman is an Assistant Professor in the Graduate Institute of National Development at National Taiwan University. He was previously the Hou Family Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Taiwan Studies at the Harvard Fairbank Center and holds his Ph.D. in political science from the University of California\, Irvine. His research focuses on political participation in Taiwan and Hong Kong. His work has been published in both regional and disciplinary journals including Political Science Research Quarterly and The China Quarterly. \nThis event is part of the Andrew J. Nathan Taiwan Lecture Series and is hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \nRegistration: \n\nTo attend this event in-person\, please register HERE.\nTo attend this event online\, please register HERE.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu\n\n
