Over the last half-decade, militaries around the world have executed a shift towards incorporating mass precision strike, with weapons such as loitering munitions and glide bombs becoming globally ubiquitous. These weapons are relatively low-cost, easy to mass-produce, and are reasonably accurate, able to partly replicate the expensive “precision strike complex” employed by Western militaries. Countries like Azerbaijan, Sudan, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, Myanmar have already employed such weap...| Global Taiwan Institute
Due to the fact that tourism is primarily seen through an economic lens, people do not usually give much thought to tourism when discussing foreign policy and international relations. However, tourism plays an essential role in politics—namely in the realm of soft power, defined as a country’s ability to influence others without resorting to coercive pressure. When it comes to tourism, the idea is that through shared positive experiences facilitated by in-person visits, people will develo...| Global Taiwan Institute

Written by Jess Marinaccio. This article examines how Taiwan’s post-1949 expansion into Pacific fisheries, amid shifting maritime laws and Pacific decolonisation, led to frequent illegal fishing incidents.

For many, US trade policy under the Trump Administration has become a challenge to navigate. On July 31, the Trump Administration announced that imports from Taiwan will be subject to a 20 percent tariff starting as early as August.

With tensions rising in East Asia, the likelihood of a dual contingency—both in the Taiwan Strait and on the Korean Peninsula—is far from a hypothetical scenario.

Since the 1970s development studies have conveyed an impression of Taiwanese firms as being active small and medium-sized enterprises (smes) with flexibility to successfully survive in a competitive global market.

Our findings indicate that Taiwanese subcontractors are caught in a dilemma between...| Brill
This essay explores the practice of a Taiwanese-centric historiography that prioritises the study of peoples rather than states. It reconceptualises the manner in which Taiwan’s history has been periodised by moving away from political history to divide time according to major transformations for the main long-term populations of the island—indigenous groups and multiple waves of Chinese settlers—and their interactions with each other, the governing entities, and the island itself.
