This book presents an interdisciplinary examination of
cross-Taiwan Strait relations and the complex dynamics at play in
the region.
Since the election of Ma Ying-jeou as Taiwan s president in
2008, the relationship across the Taiwan Strait long viewed as one
of Asia s most volatile potential flashpoints has experienced a
remarkable detente. Whether the relationship has been truly
transformed, however, remains an open question and the Taiwan
Strait remains a central regional and global security issue. A
return to turbulence in the Taiwan Strait could also add a new
dimension of instability in the already tense maritime disputes in
the East and South China Seas.
While the relationship across the Taiwan Strait remains
critically important, it is also changing rapidly, and the chapters
in this volume present new thinking to help make sense of complex
cross-Strait dynamics. Specifically, these essays explore different
security and/or globalization dimensions of China-Taiwan ties as
well as the globalization-security linkages that have emerged. As
the balance of power in Asia shifts dramatically, several chapters
in this volume explore how traditional security forces are
evolving. At the same time, there are new dynamics emerging as a
consequence of globalization forces, such as the tremendous
economic and social integration across the Taiwan Strait, and
several chapters in this volume consider some of these new
problems. Finally, several chapters consider the often
under-researched dynamics associated with the
globalization/security interface such as cyber threats,
transnational criminal networks and the security spill-over impact
of production globalization.
This book will of much interest to students of Chinese Politics,
Asian Security, globalisation, diplomacy and International
Relations."
