This
volume, the second in a series of three on Taiwanese and East Asian
security, is the result of international collaboration between the
South African Institute of International Affairs, the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies and the Institute of International Relations at National Chengchi University.
The volume focuses on the relationship between Taiwan and the People’s
Republic of China as a key to global stability. Whilst increased
cross-Strait economic interaction and social and intellectual exchanges
could provide a basis for East Asian security, this has been largely
overshadowed by recent political and military events including the
active modernisation of the PRC’s and Taiwan’s armed forces. This
collection of papers outlines ways in which both Taiwan and the PRC
should, in alliance with other international partners, find ways to
keep their relationship on a steady, mutually beneficial course. These
essays also assist in identifying means in which lessons from past
experiences and from other regions might be applied to finding common
ground and ensuring a more prosperous and positive future.
