活動亮點

This paper examines whether elite cooperation can reduce affective polarization in real-world settings. Leveraging a rare legislative alliance between Taiwan’s Kuomintang and Taiwan People’s Party in 2024, we conducted two repeated conjoint experiments before and after the alliance. Results show that this cooperation reduced inter-partisan hostility and improved social interactions among their supporters, offering new insights into how elite behavior shapes partisan divisions in polarized democracies.
