Reviews
A fine collection of chapters by a team of solid scholars about Taiwan's long-standing relationship with countries in Latin America, this book fills a big gap in international relations literature on the topic. Latin America and the Caribbean is a crucial region for Taiwan since over half of Taiwan's current diplomatic allies are located there. Taiwan's international space has been a contentious issue between the United States and China, especially as rivalry between the two powers intensifies. This is a must-read for people who wish to learn more about the history and complexity of Taiwan-Latin America relations. Although studies of the rise of China have increased exponentially, there has been far less attention to its impact in Latin America, so this book should be welcomed. Editors He Li and Antonio C. Hsiang, with long expertise in the field, bring together a group of leading scholars from both the Americas and Taiwan with different historical, theoretical, and comparative approaches.... Accessible to general readers with interests in both diplomacy and history, this book contributes to understanding the ceaseless diplomatic efforts of Taiwan to survive in a shrinking global space. Given the long distance between Taiwan and Latin America, their relationship has seldom been a focus of academic books. Edited by two established scholars in the field, this well-organized and well-presented book fills the gaps. It draws on the expertise of scholars from Taiwan, Latin America, and the US, approaches the subject from theoretical, historical, and comparative perspectives, and explores a variety of issues and countries. Aside from its timely contribution to area studies, this unique book should be given credit for throwing light on two major international developments--economic globalization and US-China rivalry.
