Emerging Human Rights Issues in Taiwan: Between an Oppressive Past and an Uncertain Technological Future

Edited by: Yi-Chun Chou, Mab Huang

ISBN13: 9781041276296
To be Published: September 2026
Publisher: Routledge
Country of Publication: UK
Format: Hardback
Price: £155.00





This book examines emerging human rights issues in Taiwan.

It comprehensively covers topics such as the #MeToo movement, the protection of health data, artificial intelligence, parental discipline, and the trans-species politics of gendered human rights and humanized animal welfare. Authored by both well-established scholars and emerging researchers, the book fills a critical gap in the English-language literature on human rights developments in Taiwan.

This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners in human rights law, East Asian studies, business and human rights, digital ethics, corporate responsibility, gender studies, the welfare stage and more broadly to political science, sociology, and global studies.
