Cross-Strait Economic Relations in the Era of
Globalization. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 508
Taiwan's government feels ill at ease having a
close economic relationship with its powerful
political rival China. Taipei's primary concern is
that Beijing will exploit its economic leverage by
imposing economic sanctions to achieve political
goals if asymmetric interdependence emerges between
Taiwan and China.
This book intends to answer two categories of
questions: First, how large is China's economic
leverage over Taiwan through economic sanctions and
what factors would contribute to China's decision to
exploit this economic leverage? And, second, how
vulnerable is Taiwan to China's exploitation of
economic leverage through imposing economic
sanctions and what factors would contribute to the
success or failure of these sanctions?
Overall, in terms of both initiation and outcome
of economic sanctions, China has no economic
leverage over Taiwan and Taiwan's vulnerability with
respect to cross-Strait economic relations is almost
nonexistent.
