Partners in Peace

This book addresses the following fundamental questions: With the EU seeing Taiwan as a partner on its own merit (rather than exclusively through the China factor lens), how can the two sides consolidate this new normal, what next? How can they expand cooperation in a way that both increases the EU's role in shaping Taiwan's future and empowers Taiwan to exercise agency? Taiwan's geo-strategic relevance is likely to grow in the Indo-Pacific, a region of great significance to the EU's own interests. Protecting these will require a more engaged Europe. In this trenchant and engaging volume, Dr. Ferenczy explores what European policy towards the Asian hotspot should be, of interest to policymakers, scholars and journalists.
