With comprehensive historical, political, socioeconomic, and cultural data, this book offers a timely examination of the developments in mainland China, Taiwan, and U.S. involvement in the region as they relate to the ongoing Taiwan Strait dilemma. While many books approach this issue primarily from the viewpoint of Taiwan, this book gives considerable attention to China and its development and role in the issue. In an approachable style, this intriguing work identifies the realities that mainland China and Taiwan, as well as the United States, face and presents various options in an effort to

This is a comprehensive portrait of Taiwan. It covers the major periods in the development of this small but powerful island province/nation. That history is as long and in many ways as dramatic as that of the United States, another pioneer culture. The chapters in the book are intended for the educated lay audience and for students from college to graduate level, as well as for historians of Asian and world history. Patterned after the multi-volume Cambridge History of China, this book has been planned from the ground up to be a comprehensive portrait of Taiwan from neolithic times to the pre

Written by the former chairman and managing director of the American Institute in Taiwan, this book sheds new light on key topics in the history of U.S.-Taiwan relations. It fills an important gap in our understanding of how the U.S. government addressed Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait issue from the early 1940s to the present. One theme that runs through these essays is the series of obstacles erected that denied the people of Taiwan a say in shaping their own destiny: Franklin Roosevelt chose to return Taiwan to mainland China for geopolitical reasons; there was little pressure on the Kuomintan

Few people beyond the shores of Taiwan are aware that it is home to a population of indigenous peoples who for more than fifteen thousand years have lived on the island. Over the years, through the Chinese imperial period, the Japanese occupation, and for most of the twentieth century, the indigenous peoples of Taiwan were marginalized and deprived of rights. However, with the lifting of martial law in 1987, new government policies regarding ethnic groups, and growing interest in Taiwan’s aboriginal peoples, indigenous writing began to blossom. With its intense and lyrical explorations o

Recent concern about mainland China’s intentions towards Taiwan, and more general concern about the risk of instability in the region, has led to growing interest in Taiwan’s military strategy, in how Taiwan perceives threats to itself, and in how the Taiwanese military are reacting to these perceived threats. This book, which includes contributions by leading Taiwanese military thinkers, explores current military strategy in Taiwan and how it is evolving. It discusses Taiwan’s military modernisation, and the implications of the recent defeat after fifty years in power of the
