Recent concern about mainland China's intentions towards Taiwan,
and more general concern about the risk of instability in the
region, has led to growing interest in Taiwan's military strategy.
This book brings together a range of experts from the West and from
Taiwan itself who examine the key issues connected with Taiwan's
air power, which is a key aspect of the China-Taiwan military
balance. During the 1990s, Taiwan invested considerable resources
in thoroughly re-equipping its air force with modern air defence
and strike aircraft equipped with modern missiles, thereby denying
China command of the air in any conflict in the short- to
medium-term. In the longer-term, air power will remain a crucial
influence on the overall balance, as China's efforts to upgrade its
own air force's capabilities begin to undermine Taiwan's current
advantages.
Recent concern about mainland China's intentions towards Taiwan,
and more general concern about the risk of instability in the
region, has led to growing interest in Taiwan's military strategy,
in how Taiwan perceives threats to itself, and in how the Taiwanese
military are reacting to these perceived threats. This book, which
includes contributions by leading Taiwanese military thinkers,
explores current military strategy in Taiwan and how it is
evolving. It discusses Taiwan's military modernisation, and the
implications of the recent defeat after fifty years in power of the
Kuomintang Party, implications which include a move away from an
authoritarian garrison state culture, and the beginnings of a more
open debate about defence. The book concludes with an overall
appraisal of Taiwan's defence vision and makes recommendations on
how Taiwan's defence might be enhanced.

This collection examines the theory, practice, and application of
state neutrality in international relations. With a focus on its
modern-day applications, the studies in this volume analyze the
global implications of permanent neutrality for Taiwan, Russia,
Ukraine, the European Union, and the United States. Exploring
permanent neutrality's role as a realist security model capable of
rivaling collective security, the authors argue that permanent
neutrality has the potential to decrease major security dilemmas on
the global stage.
