Kagan (history emeritus, Hamline U.) believes that Lee, the president of the Republic of China (Taiwan) from 1988 to 2000, is largely misunderstood. Lee took an authoritarian state through the rigors of transition to democracy without bloodshed, and he also managed to develop a multiple-party political system. He also struggled to maintain cultural mores, develop new ideas when needed, and support human rights, democracy and economic justice. In fact, Kagan believes Lee serves as a role model for leaders seeking democracy and social equity as he describes how Lee came into politics, survived the presidency for 12 years in a very tumultuous time, and lived under the shadow of the People's Republic of China.
