Description
About the Book
"Technological change is one of the main contemporary challenges and sources of uncertainty facing mainland China and Taiwan. It is also a key cause of the rapid political, economic and cultural shifts that characterise contemporary relations between the two. The issue has clear policy relevance for both sides and this book offers a truly original contribution to current research on the subject that can appeal to both academic and professional audiences. The chapters are based on research by international experts originating from Taiwan, mainland China, the United States, and Europe, enabling a mosaic of perspectives to be presented from different geostrategic standpoints, including national security, economics and culture, each in an interdisciplinary fashion. "--Book Synopsis
This book explores how technological change is influencing the dynamics of relations between mainland China and Taiwan. Using the latest research, it examines the acceleration of technology-led and how it shapes three key dimensions of the cross-Strait relationship: the overarching security context; the economic context; and the cultural context.Review Quotes
'Cross-strait relations are clearly a multi-dimensional phenomenon, but prior to this book, rarely did one volume address the political, economic and cultural aspects of cross-strait relations adequately, let alone with the depth found across the chapters of Cross-Taiwan Strait Relations in an Era of Technological Change.' Douglas B. Fuller, Professor, School of Management, Zhejiang University, China
'The editors are to be commended for expertly marshalling a remarkably wide range of expertise in a way that throws fresh light on many of the most pressing issues shaping cross-Strait relations in the early 21st century. The key to the book's success lies in its path-breaking and provocative use of technology as a prism through which to view security, economic and cultural challenges that are at the heart of the dynamic of cross-Strait ties.' Robert Ash, Professor of Economics with reference to China and Taiwan, SOAS, University of London, UK
