| Abstract | "This new textbook presents an excellent introduction to the most important aspects of contemporary Taiwanese society, politics, economy, and international relations in a comprehensive and reader-friendly way. Illustrating that Taiwan is more than just a military hot spot - also as a vibrant democracy, a beacon of human rights, a technological leader, and an economic hub - each chapter poses a fundamental question, including: - How did the island develop? - How did Taiwan become a democracy? - How does it combine tradition and modernity? - What human rights problems does Taiwan encounter? - How did Taiwan become an Asian Tiger? - How does it live with its neighbours? - How does diplomacy work when you're not internationally recognized? Contemporary Taiwan is an excellent resource for students of Taiwan Studies, international relations, political science, and global studies, as well as think tanks, consultants, and journalists seeking critical and balanced background information on contemporary Taiwan"-- Provided by publisher. |
