Lee, Chan and their contributors analyse the different kinds of
soft power deployed by Taiwan in its bid to strengthen its
relations with its neighbours in Southeast Asia. Despite not having
formal diplomatic relations with Southeast Asian countries after
their diplomatic recognition of the People’s Republic of China
decades ago, Taiwan continues to be a key economic and
socio-cultural partner for the region at large. Successive
administrations in Taiwan from the Chen to Tsai eras have
circumvented the long-standing absence of diplomatic recognition
with the diffusion of soft power ─ shaping what others want with
attractiveness ─ through the utilization of its existing economic
and socio-cultural links with Southeast Asian countries. While such
soft power diffusion contributes to Taiwan’s triple quests for
legitimacy as a member of international community, status as a
constructive actor in the region and long-term economic prosperity
for the island-state, the emergence of China as an economic
superpower in the 21st century has significantly challenged such
quests from Taipei. The contributors to this volume examine both
the intentions and the reception of Taiwan’s approach to the
nations of ASEAN. An essential read for students and researchers
investigating the impact and limitations of soft power in foreign
policy.
