The stand-off across the Straits of Taiwan continues to be one of
the most dangerous confrontations in Asia. The technical
superiority of the Taiwanese forces has been a major factor in
maintaining balance, but as mainland China's armed forces
modernize, Taiwan's advantages are being eroded. In response,
Taiwan has recently undertaken a major reform of its armed forces.
Bringing together a wide range of experts including people who are
involved in defence policy making in Taiwan, this book presents a
comprehensive analysis of these reforms, and assesses their likely
effectiveness. Chapters are devoted to issues including the Chinese
threat, the domestic context of reform, the role of the United
States and specific defence issues, making the book an invaluable
guide to the changes undertaken and underway within Taiwan's
strategic environment. With a foreword by Taiwanese President Chen
Shui-bian, Taiwan's Defense Reform will be of interest to policy
makers and academics working in this vital strategic area.
