Product Description

This book examines changes in Taiwans policies toward Mainland China under former Republic of China (ROC) President Ma Ying-jeou (2008-16) and considers their implications for US policy toward the Taiwan Strait. In recent years, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC)s increasingly assertive foreign policy behaviors have heightened tensions with its regional neighbors as well as the United States. However, under the Kuomintang (KMT) administration of Ma Ying-jeou, Taiwan discounted Beijings coercion and pursued rapprochement on the basis of the 1992 consensus, which was a tacit agreement reached between the KMT and Chinese Communist Party in 1992 that both Taiwan and the mainland belong to one China though that China is subjected to either side's different interpretations. The author of this volume analyzes why Taipei underreacted towards the security challenges posed by the PRC and chartered policies that sometimes went against the interests of Washingtonand its allies in the Asia-Pacific. The KMT was pushing for nation-building initiatives to rejuvenate the ROCs one China ruling legitimacy and to supplant pro-independence forces within Taiwan. The islands deeply fragmented domestic politics and partisanship have led policy elites to choose suboptimal strategy and, thereby, weakening its security position. The implications from this study are equally applicable to Taiwans newly elected Democratic Progressive Party government that has taken off ice in 2016.
