Abstract

Since the late 1980s, the process of democratization and increased public participation has pressed for the expansion of social welfare in Taiwan, while neoliberalization has affected housing policies to enhance the operation of market mechanisms for housing provision. Nowadays, the Taiwanese state primarily facilitates the growth of housing market and homeownership, exercising little control over speculation. Escalating housing prices have led to a strong social rental housing movement. This chapter explores the diminishing role of the state in Taiwan’s housing system and how housing has been understood by the state, placing the discussions in the political and economic contexts after 1949. The chapter also examines how the social housing movement since 2010 has gradually transformed the role of the state in its provision of housing and what obstacles the movement has to confront.

This chapter uses ‘state’ and ‘government’ in an interchangeable way. When the concept is about the developmental state, the nation-state, or state-society relations, the term ‘state’ is used. The term ‘government’ is used to indicate the central or local (municipal or city) governments. When the local government is not specified, then the central government is in question.

The first two periods were under the authoritarian state. The only time the Taiwanese state played a strong role in directly constructing public housing was during the second period, but most of the public housing units constructed in this stage were privatized. Very few low-income families benefited from the privatization because they could not afford to buy the privatized units.
