`Professor Chow has put together an excellent collection of   papers analyzing some of the most important political and economic issues   in East Asia. The focus is on Taiwan, but several chapters deal separately   with the United States, China, North Korea, Japan, and the EU. This is a   very useful publication for those interested in contemporary East   Asia.'    - Thomas J. Bellows, The University of Texas at San Antonio and Editor,    American Journal of Chinese Studies   The US policy of supporting a democratic Taiwan while simultaneously   engaging China is a delicate and complex balance, with outcomes critical to   economic, security and strategic interests in Asia. At the same time,   rising Taiwanese identity amid the emerging power of China continues to   change the paradigm. The contributors to this volume explore the political   and economic dimensions of this complicated and pressing issue.   Whether the US-China relationship evolves as one of `strategic partners' or   `strategic competitors' will significantly affect power relations between   Washington, Beijing and Taipei. More generally, it will set the tone for   peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia Pacific. Peter Chow examines   the potential crisis, as well as mitigating influences, by investigating   political, economic and security considerations affecting cross-Taiwan   Strait relations. He presents broad coverage of recent changes of policy in   Taiwan, China and the US, with special emphasis on the adjustments of   American policy on Taiwanese identity amid its democratization. An overall   evaluation of current US policies toward China based on `realism' and   `idealism' illustrates the shifting US-China-Taiwan relations.  This insightful treatment will be of great interest to students and   scholars of international relations, political economy, foreign relations,   Asian studies, political science and economics. Civic leaders and   representatives of interest groups involved with US-China-Taiwan relations   will find the volume of great value in their work.
