Taiwan's Relations with Mainland China - A Tail Wagging Two Dogs

Taiwan''s Relations with Mainland China is the first book to deal with the role of Taiwan-s leadership politics, including the personal political styles of Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian, in the development of Taiwan-s mainland policy and the consequences for U.S.-Taiwan relations.

Including analysis of the critical and volatile 1988-2004 period, the Taiwan Straits crisis and cross-strait tension associated with the 2004 Taiwan presidential campaign, Su Chi weaves in his personal participation in Taiwan policy making during critical periods in Taiwan-s diplomatic history to provide insight and information on cross-strait relations that is not available elsewhere

As a study of Taiwan-s mainland and US policy this will be a fascinating read for students and scholars of Taiwan Politics, Chinese Foreign Policy and East Asian Security studies alike.
