At the end of the 1990s, Taiwan politics entered a new era with the opposition DPP taking over the executive branch. Flag-waving and slogan-shouting street protests have now fallen from favor, and the kind of leadership training that was popular in the 1980s seems an awkward fit for the present day. It is a time of transition.
九○年代末，台灣政治已走上新局面，政黨輪替後民進黨成為執政黨，搖旗吶喊的街頭抗議已不再時興，曾經跟隨八○年代蓬勃社運而起的領袖訓練，於是面臨尷尬轉型期。
