“…This ‘diplomatic’ and ‘economic truce’ resulted in 21 economic and functional agreements between Taipei and Beijing and the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement was signed in 2011, which led to further enhancement of cross-strait economic relations (Leng & Chang, 2016, p. 362; Tsai & Liu, 2017, p. 9). An improvement in cross-strait relations was one of the factors that enabled Taiwan to further develop relations with Southeast Asia (Hsieh, 2019, p. 106; Ling & Chang, 2016, p. 374; Tsai & Liu, 2017, p. 23). 14…”

“…Taiwan-Singapore relations were ‘restored’ culminating in the signing of the ‘Agreement between Singapore and the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu on Economic Partnership’. Taiwan also began an exploratory study to examine the possibility of an FTA with India (Hsieh, 2019, p. 106; Ling & Chang, 2016, p. 364; Tsai & Liu, 2017, p. 23). Such bilateral FTAs are imperative for Taiwan as they achieve the political objective of ‘upgrading Taiwan’s de facto sovereignty’ by developing Taiwan’s substantive relations with non-diplomatic partners (Magcamit & Tan, 2014, p. 98).…”

“…13.While both paradigms of ‘viable diplomacy’ and ‘pragmatic diplomacy’ aimed to develop Taiwan’s substantive non-diplomatic relations with Southeast Asia, viable diplomacy also sought to improve Taiwan’s relations with China and adopt a less confrontational stance to Cross-Strait relations than President Chen’s policy (Bing, 2017, p. 111; Hsieh, 2019, p. 106). President Ma never launched an official version of the ‘Go South’ policy like his predecessors, yet part of his viable diplomacy paradigm did focus on enhancing relations with Southeast Asia (Bing, 2017).…”

“…14.Ma’s decision to enhance and stabilise economic and cultural relations with Beijing while simultaneously moving away from a position of de jure independence which claimed separate sovereignty for Taiwan was a contributing factor which gave Taiwan and Southeast Asia the space to develop substantive relations through various agreements (Bing, 2017, p. 112; Hsieh, 2019, p. 106; Ling & Chang, 2016, p. 364).…”

India, Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific: Economic–Security Strategic Partnership and Expected Utility Theory

The China–India border dispute has witnessed escalations recently with China making fresh claims along the disputed border and deaths of Indian military personnel. This study examines the likelihood of a strategic partnership between India and Taiwan. We begin by assessing India’s ‘Act East Policy’ and Taiwan’s ‘New Southbound Policy’ for any points of congruence between these two policies. We then propose an expected utility model of India’s decision calculus. Using the theoretical implication of the model, we then examine the likelihood of a strategic partnership along two dimensions—an economic and a defence–security partnership. This study argues that the value added by an economic strategic partnership between the two countries may be substantial, and the likelihood of such a partnership may be significant. However, the likelihood of a defence–security partnership is substantially less in the bilateral sphere, although at the multilateral level there are areas where defence cooperation can occur.

“…186 The previous KMT government's China-friendly policy led to the 2010 Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement with China and eased political obstacles to Taiwan's 2013 FTAs with Singapore and New Zealand. 187 Both Singapore and New Zealand had existing FTAs with Beijing and do not diplomatically recognize the ROC. The fact that Taiwan adopted its WTO nomenclature, 'separate customs territory' or 'Chinese Taipei', for the two FTAs also helped decrease sovereign disputes.…”

Rethinking non-recognition: The EU’s Investment Agreement with Taiwan under the One-China Policy

This article re-examines the theories of recognition and non-recognition in the context of the evolving framework of the European Union (EU)’s trade and investment relations with Taiwan from legal and international relations perspectives. Notwithstanding its one-China policy, the EU has developed a pragmatic approach to engaging Taiwan under bilateral consultations and World Trade Organization negotiations that have built the foundation for the bilateral investment agreement (BIA). The article argues that since the 1980s, the EU has accorded diverse forms of recognition to Taiwan and the BIA will buttress the process. To substantiate the contention, the article systemically explores the political and trade policies of European states and EU institutions in line with their strategies toward cross-strait relations. By deciphering the new momentum that has galvanized the European Commission’s strategy towards the EU-Taiwan BIA, the research sheds light on the implications of European Parliament resolutions and the EU’s investment talks with China. The structure and impact of the BIA are also analysed in light of EU investment protection agreements with Singapore and Vietnam. Hence, the findings contribute to the interdisciplinary study of international law and international relations and enhance the understanding of the EU’s Asia-Pacific trade and investment agreements.

A Struggle over Recognition and Nonrecognition: The Internationalization of the Abkhaz State University

The Abkhaz State University (ASU) is internationally isolated, despite its cooperation with universities in Russia. Georgia combines its refusal to recognize Abkhaz statehood with a policy of nonrecognition of its university, which sets the direction for other countries. But the Abkhaz policies of nonrecognition are also to be taken into account. Abkhazia opposes any form of internationalization of the ASU generating closer ties with Georgia. The article examines how the Georgian and Abkhaz policies of nonrecognition hamper the internationalization of the ASU within the European educational space. It explores a conflict on recognition and nonrecognition of status and identity, where status does not refer exclusively to statehood. In the field of higher education, European integration involves a large number of state and nonstate actors in 49 countries and a wide variety of forms of recognition and nonrecognition, ranging from the certification of individual qualifications and the publication of lists of unrecognized universities, to the setting up of joint educational programs. This integration process is largely state driven but based on the principle of the institutional autonomy of universities. Using the ASU as a case study, the way that policies on nonrecognition affect status in the field of higher education is examined.
