CrossTaiwan Straits Relations

This course looks at the cross-straits relations between mainland China and Taiwan. It studies the political, social, and economic development in and between China and Taiwan and its regional/international implication throughout history. In particular, this course will examine the political discourses reflected in the principles and policies adopted by the Chinese Communist Party, Kuomintang, and Democratic Progressive Party over such issues as reunification and independence, as well as non-official views on these issues. Students who are interested in learning about the current cross-Taiwan Strait Relations and the so-called Taiwan Issue are encouraged to take this course.
