Overview

In this newly revised and updated 7th edition of Taiwan: Nation-State or Province? John F. Copper examines Taiwan's geography and history, society and culture, economy, political system and foreign and security politics in the context of Taiwan's uncertain political status as either a sovereign nation or a province of the People's Republic of China. Copper argues that Taiwan's very rapid and successful democratization suggests Taiwan should be independent and separate from China, while economic links between Taiwan and China indicate the opposite.

New features to the 7th editions include:

  • The triumph of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the 2016 elections.
  • The impact of the Trump administration on US-Taiwan foreign relations.
  • The rise of popularism.
  • The shift in cross-Strait relations with China given their increased power on the world stage.

This revised and up-to-date textbook will be essential reading for students of Taiwan, China, US-China relations and democracy.
