The confrontation across the Taiwan Strait remains one of the most dangerous confrontations in Asia. The technical superiority of the Taiwanese forces was a key factor in maintaining balance, but with the modernization of the armed forces in China, the advantages of Taiwan are eroding.
In response, Taiwan recently conducted a major reform of its armed forces. This book brings together a wide range of experts, including people involved in Taiwan's defense policy-making, provides a comprehensive analysis of these reforms, and assesses their potential effectiveness.
The chapters are devoted to issues including the Chinese threat, the internal context of reform, the role of the United States and specific defense issues, making the book an invaluable guide to ongoing and ongoing changes in Taiwan's strategic environment. With an introduction from Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian, Taiwan's defense reform will be of interest to policymakers and academics working in this vital strategic area..
