Writing and Re-writing the Gendered Script: A Historiography of Social Policy in Taiwan (1950-presence).

The article presents a study on the policy studies of East Asia in general, and Taiwan in particular, by analyzing the discursive politics affecting the articulation of women's productive and reproductive labor rights in policy development within a historical context. In the last 50 years, Taiwan has gone through three distinct eras, each characterized by different articulations of nation-building. However, each also share the same core ideology of nation-building as benefiting the collective good.
