Taiwanese Identity in the 21st Century

- Domestic, Regional and Global Perspectives

About Taiwanese Identity in the 21st Century

As we look to enter the second decade of the 21st century, Taiwan¿s quest for identity remains the most contentious issue in the domestic arena of Taiwanese politics. From here, it spills over into the cross-Strait relationship and impacts on regional and global security. Whether Taiwan is a nation state or whether Taiwan has any claim to be a nation-state and how Taiwan should relate to "China" are issues which have long been hotly debated on the island, although it seems that much of this debate is now more focused on finding an adequate strategy to deal with the Beijing government than on the legitimacy of Taiwan¿s claim to sovereignty as the Republic of China.The collection of chapters in this book shed light on very different aspects of Taiwan¿s current state of identity formation from historical, political, social and economic perspectives, both domestically, and globally. As such it will be invaluable reading for students and scholars of Taiwan studies, politics, history and society, as well as those interested in cross-Strait relations, Chinese politics, and Chinese international relations.
