Though conflict is normal and can never fully be prevented in the
international arena, such conflicts should not lead to loss of
innocent life. Tourism can offer a bottom-up approach in the
mediation process and contribute to the transformation of conflicts
by allowing a way to contradict official barriers motivated by
religious, political, or ethnic division. Tourism has both the
means and the motivation to ensure the long-term success of
prevention efforts. Role and Impact of Tourism in Peacebuilding and
Conflict Transformation is an essential reference source that
provides an approach to peace through tourism by presenting a
theoretical framework of tourism dynamics in international
relations, as well as a set of peacebuilding case studies that
illustrate the role of tourism in violent or critical scenarios of
conflict. Featuring research on topics such as cultural diversity,
multicultural interaction, and international relations, this book
is ideally designed for policymakers, government officials,
international relations experts, academicians, students, and
researchers.

Coincided with China's economic reform and her rapid ascendance to
a great power status, the relations between Taiwan and Chinese
mainland since 1979 have also seen some encouraging development.
However, the rapprochement is nothing but a smooth ride. Taiwan
Strait has always been full of tensions and hostility since the
communist took over the mainland over sixty years ago. The
periodical tensions in the cross-Strait relations have from time to
time threatened to derail the peace talks between the two sides,
and poised to jeopardize the region's peace and stability. This
book studies the past, present and future relations across the
Taiwan Strait and examines many important questions such as
internal and external factors contributing to the Taiwan's shift in
her mainland policy, impacts of Taiwan democratization on the
cross-Strait relations, the development of Taiwanese identity and
rise of Taiwanese nationalism, the possibility of expanding
Taiwan's international space under the shadow of China, the
prospect of reunification between Taiwan and China, and the roles
of the third parties, such as U.S., NGOs and Taiwan businessmen, in
the changing relationship between the two sides. Taiwan and the
Rise of China will certainly help readers, especially those who
lack of historical perspective of the political division of the two
political adversaries, to grasp the complexity and nature of the
cross-Strait relations and faster a real understanding of the
significance of this relationship to peace in the region as well as
the world in the 21st century.
