In this thoroughly revised and updated edition, John Copper provides a comprehensive introduction to Taiwan. The book highlights Taiwan's unique attributes: its uneasy status as a nation-state, its successful trade-oriented economy - despite a lack of natural resources - its rapid transition to democracy in the wake of economic development, and its ambiguous relationship with the United States.
Considering Taiwan's international role in the post-Cold War era, Copper weighs the future of this small but vital island nation.

First Sentence
"LOCATED IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC, just east of the south-central coast of China, the island of Taiwan comprises most of the land area of the nation known officially as the Republic of China-also called Nationalist China, Free China, the Republic of China on Taiwan, and very recently by some, the Republic of Taiwan-but most often referred to as just Taiwan."
