| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Taxation involves the institutionalization of the revenue-raising capacity of a modern state and, at the same time, it can motivate citizens to hold the government accountable and facilitate collective bargaining between the ruler and the ruled. Contemporary democratizers since the third wave have faced distinct circumstances, compared to the regime transition of early waves of democratizer. Once implemented, however, taxation plays an important role in contemporary democratization, and is inevitably implicated in the collective bargaining between the ruler and the ruled and motivates the latter to hold the government accountable. This project has shed a new light on the role of taxation in contemporary democratization and thus has contributed to advancing the understanding on comparative studies on democratization.
