This article explores the development of democracy in Taiwan, the cultural foundations linking humanism and democratic institutions, and the potential contributions of group relations theory to the consolidation of Taiwanese democracy. It traces Taiwan' s transition from authoritarian rule to a democratic society through key historical milestones, including martial law, the White Terror, and transitional justice reforms. The author argues that humanism - emphasizing individual dignity and rational self-realization- provides the cultural grounding for democratic systems. Group relations theory, rooted in Western humanist traditions, fosters awareness of systemic psychodynamics and personal authority, both of which are critical for strengthening democratic resilience amid rising authoritarian pressure from China and deepening political polarization within Taiwan. The article also reflects on the cultural challenges of introducing group relations work to Taiwan, including local conceptions of authority, social ethics, and the complexity of cross-cultural translation. By integrating cultural, psychological, and political perspectives, this article offers a framework for reinforcing democratic practices and cultivating humanistic values in Taiwan.
