The National Bureau of Asian Research and the Global Taiwan Institute present “The Future of US-Taiwan Policy: Taiwan’s National Power in Context.” This public seminar, held on March 10, 2017, featured Strategic Asia program contributors Steven Goldstein (Harvard University), Robert Sutter (The George Washington University), and David Gitter (Party Watch), as well as Tiffany Ma (The National Bureau of Asian Research) and Scott Harold (RAND). David An (The Global Taiwan Institute) served as moderator.
The panel and subsequent discussion drew from key findings on Taiwan’s national power and strategic culture from the recent Special Reports for NBR’s Strategic Asia program: Taiwan’s Strong but Stifled Foundations of National Power and Taiwan: Asia’s Orphan? The panelists discussed the island’s relations with China and the United States, examining possible paths forward in the relationship between Washington and Taipei.
