課程簡述 According to The Economist magazine, the Taiwan Strait is widely known as the most perilous region on earth. The survival, security, and development of Taiwan are intricately linked to its cross-Strait relations. However, numerous factors impact cross-strait relations, extending beyond the scope of bilateral interactions between Taipei and Beijing. A significant portion is determined by the external international pattern and order. Therefore, this course aims to provide an in-depth comprehension and analysis of the current cross-strait relations from the perspective of international politics. This course will be divided into four parts:
1. Firstly, it will introduce the fundamental concepts and theories of international political analysis, including sovereignty, power, democratic peace theory, economic interdependence, identity, international norms and rules. The theories involved are realism, liberalism, constructivism, and others.
2. Secondly, based on the central concepts, the course will delve into the origin and evolution of the contemporary international order. This will cover the historical scope, encompassing the formation and expansion of the Westphalian system, the two world wars, and the subsequent bipolar system of the Cold War. It will also cover the new world order that emerged after the end of the Cold War.
3. Thirdly, the course will establish the analytical framework of cross-strait relations, including the history of cross-strait relations, research methods and theories, among others. The principal question in this part is: To what extent will changes in the international order affect cross-Strait relations?
4. Lastly, this course will explore various issues and policies relevant to cross-strait relations. Some of these issues and policies include the evolution of the external strategy of the Republic of China (Taiwan), the evolution of the Chinese Communist Party's strategy towards Taiwan, Taiwan's democratisation and the rise of Taiwanese nationalism, the triangular relationship between the United States, Mainland China, and Taiwan, WTO and cross-strait economic and trade relations, the current situation and prospects of cross-strait mass media and cultural exchanges, and the past, present, and future of cross-strait negotiations.
