Foreign policy of the new Taiwan : pragmatic diplomacy in
Southeast Asia By Chen Jie Published by Edward Elgar (2002) |
Book description
Taiwan has become a significant player on the world stage in many areas and has developed a
distinct international profile and influence. Its pro-active foreign policy firmly reminds the world of a
new political entity’s achievement, aspirations and unfulfilled ambitions. This pioneering book
discusses Taiwan’s pragmatic diplomacy as a way of seeking legitimacy, survival and development
for a burgeoning nation-state, against the dynamic changes in domestic and international scenes and
tumultuous relations with China.
With special reference to Taiwan’s relations with Southeast Asia, a key region in Taiwan’s
international linkages, the book investigates three major pillars sustaining Taipei’s unorthodox
diplomacy. These three pillars are: Taiwan’s investment and trade prowess, and the global networks
built by its business elite; its special relations with global ethnic Chinese communities; and
trans-national activism of Taiwan’s political, social and religious groups, in a so-called ‘total
diplomacy’.
Political scientists, students and international policy makers along with anyone interested in the
changing role of China and Taiwan on the world stage will find this book lively and informative.
