Abstract
The article treats Taiwan’s links to the world under four headings: trade and investment, beliefs and styles, national identity, and military security. The island’s traders profit from inexpensive labor elsewhere in Asia and large markets in democracies, its people increasingly adopt cosmopolitan global styles along with localist identities, and its diplomats and strategists fear that external threats from China may not be deterred by external help with defense. Taiwan’s globalization has been fast in terms of both norms and situations, but its future is uncertain.Keywords
