Stanley Rosen has been observing elections in Taiwan for two decades. Here he compares the advertising employed by candidates from the 1990s to the 2012 election. Fear remains an important tool for campaigns, but the advertising was much less negative than in previous years, particularly the brutal 2004 campaign.
