In late 2015, against a background of growing populist opposition
to international trade agreements, the European Commission
announced its willingness to negotiate a comprehensive bilateral
investment agreement with Taiwan. While this should be relatively
straightforward, this book warns that it is unlikely to be so. The
major stumbling block is not Chinese opposition, as is so often
assumed, or populist resistance but a lack of sufficient political
will on both sides. This stems from a mutual lack of awareness
which in turn is due to the relative stagnation of bilateral trade.
A successful outcome would therefore act as a catalyst in
developing relations further. The author examines the principal
obstacles to reaching an agreement and the ways of overcoming them.
The book should be of interest to policy makers, negotiators and
advisors involved in the forthcoming negotiations but also to
anyone with an interest in the EU's relations with Taiwan.
