Across the Taiwan Strait

"Using the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis as a starting point, the illuminating essays in this notable collection examine the causes of the conflict and assess the possibility of more benevolent relations between China and Taiwan. Is growing economic interdependence a sign of a political thaw, or does it just provide cover for a growing estrangement? The contributors not only answer questions such as these, but also discuss current foreign policy developments in Taiwan, China, and the United States. Book jacket."--Jacket.
