On January 1, 1979, the Congress of the United States passed the
Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) in order to maintain all existing
treaties between the Republic of China on Taiwan and the United
States as well as the laws governing relations between the two
countries. The enactment of the TRA marked the beginning of a
unique relationship. Perhaps for the first time in the history of
modern foreign affairs a state had broken relations with another,
only to create a new legal arrangement that would maintain
virtually all prior laws and commitments that had existed between
the two governments. The essays in this volume focus on how the TRA
has influenced the two triangular relationships in which the United
States and the two Chinese states are lined: (1) the great power
triangle of the United States, the People's Republic of China
(PRC), and the Soviet Union and (2) the evolution of political
diplomacy between the United States, the PRC, and the Republic of
China on Taiwan. Despite efforts by the PRC to disrupt the strong
ties between the United States and the ROC, the authors of this
volume illustrate the extraordinary success of the Taiwan Relations
Act in contributing to regional security and a high level of
economic and political stability in one of the world's most
tactically unpredictable and volatile areas.
