- Summary:
- In reaction to globalization, Taiwan has attempted to restructure its schools along more western lines in at attempt to attain legitimacy on the world stage. As a result, Taiwan principals, once kings within their schools, must implement reforms that are contrary to longstanding norms and traditions.
