Taiwan's Security in the Post-Deng Xiaoping Era

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 2000, Taiwan's Security in the Post-Deng Xiaoping Era analyses the many domestic and international factors comprising Taiwan's security situation in the late 1990s and early 21st Century. The security of Taiwan remains of international strategic concern, and the military situation in the Taiwan Strait is increasingly volatile, nearly 25 years after this book was first published. This detailed study concludes that Taiwan's overall security will become increasingly dependent on external factors and that the most important contribution Taipei can make to its own security, other than military preparation, is political astuteness.
