Author Description

What is the Taiwan Strait and why does it matter? The contributors to this volume argue that cross-Strait issues are both pressing subjects in contemporary politics and opportunities to reveal new vistas of scholarship covering China-Taiwan studies. Their research examines the dynamics of cross-Strait exchanges in national, regional, local, and transnational contexts, engaging with the arenas of culture, society, economy, and politics. Edited by Wen-hsin Yeh, Richard H. and Laurie C. Morrison Chair Professor, Department of History, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Publisher's note.
