Examining the flow of technical knowledge between the US, Taiwan
and Mainland China over the last sixty-five years, this book shows
that the technical knowledge that has moved between these states is
vast and varied. It includes the invention and production of
industrial goods, as well as knowledge of the patterns of corporate
organization and management. Indeed, this diversity is reflected in
the process itself, which is driven both by returning expatriates
with knowledge acquired overseas and by successful government
intervention in acquiring technology from multinational firms.
Technology Transfer Between the US, China and Taiwan engages with
the evolving debates on the merits, importance and feasibility of
technology transfer in the process of economic development
globally, and uses the example of Taiwan to show that multinational
corporations can indeed play a positive role in economic
development. Further, it reveals the underlying tension between
international cooperation and nationalism which inevitably
accompanies international exchanges, as well as the delicate
balancing act required between knowledge acquisition and dangerous
levels of dependency, and the beneficial role of the US in East
Asia's technological development. With contributors from
disciplines ranging from history, geography, urban planning,
sociology, political science and electrical engineering, this
multi-disciplinary book will be of great interest to students and
scholars working across a broad range of subjects including Taiwan
studies, Chinese studies, economics, business studies and
development studies.
