Contemporary Challenges for the Institutional Cooperation of Taiwan in the Asia-Pacifi c Region

Summary/Abstract: Taiwan’s limited participation in international organizations and institutions depends heavily onits unique, but trouble some position in the world. It results from the fact that in 1949, the Nationalist Party authorities of the Republic of China were established on Taiwan, after the lost war onthe continent. Meanwhile, the victorious Communist Party established the People’s Republic ofChina in the mainland. Throughout the course of the history of divided China, both governmentscompeted for the representation of China in international organizations, however Taiwan’s internationalpresence was largely limited. For example, in 2015 Taiwan participated in 37 internationalorganizations, in addition to the observer’s status in 21 other, most of them of a regional range. Itresulted from the development of some alternative strategies, markedly exemplifi ed by Taiwan’sparticipation in international organizations and institutions in the Asia-Pacifi c region.
