Introduction

This book answers a few key questions about Taiwan's future, through specific chapters focusing on geopolitical security topics, to better understand evolving geopolitical challenges within a global context, and what these represent for the future world order—and its stability—in the Indo-Pacific region.

Context and Perspectives

Against the backdrop of China's increasing threats against Taiwan, this edited volume has collected a series of internationally acclaimed academics as well as some junior scholars to provide different perspectives from Europe, the UK, the US, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Structure of the Book

The book is divided into three main parts: an introductory section that broadly deals with various topics related to the changing dynamics in geopolitics; a central part focusing on Cross-Strait Warfare and specifically on the legal and gray-zone tactics between China and Taiwan; and a final section, which focuses in depth on the China-US competition from different viewpoints.
