Riassunto:

Taiwan’s history is complex and multilayered, as is its position in international politics. An appreciation of its role in geopolitics is more than the popular stylized dichotomies of “democracy vs authoritarianism” or “independence vs unification”. Both Taiwan’s history and future are intimately tied to democratization, decolonialism, national identity, economic interdependence, multiculturalism and modern values – all set against an ever-present security dimension.


As a top 20 global economy and tech powerhouse, a liberal democracy on the frontline of autocratic pressure and a pivotal component in the free and open Indo-Pacific, Taiwan is relevant to citizens and policymakers around the world. This short book illuminates how its fate will determine much about the direction of today’s global order.

Informazioni sull?autore: Jonathan Sullivan is an Associate Professor in the School of Politics and IR at the University of Nottingham and previously Director of the China Policy Institute.


Lev Nachman is Assistant Professor at National Chengchi University in Taipei, Taiwan.
