Critical Readings on China-Taiwan Relations reprints important articles and book chapters which examine aspects of China-Taiwan relations historically, bilaterally in military-security and economic affairs, and multilaterally with the United States, Japan, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific. The work begins with an introduction by the editor, Professor J. Bruce Jacobs, outlining several key issues in China-Taiwan relations. Critical Readings provides important background and facilitates understanding of such potential world flashpoints as the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
