        New Asian Disorder

        Rivalries Embroiling the Pacific Century

        by Edited by Lowell Dittmer

        In New Asian Disorder: Rivalries Embroiling the Pacific Century, Lowell Dittmer and his team explore the recent political disorder in East Asia resulting from growing Sino-American polarization. The rise of China in recent years is widely regarded as a momentous shift in the global balance of power. China is now extending sovereignty into the East China Sea and the South China Sea, constructing a new set of global financial institutions and replacing “universal values” with technologically enhanced nationalism. The country’s “Belt and Road Initiative” is also tainted by the vast ambition to realize the “China Dream” within the foreseeable future. In response to China’s challenge, the United States has abandoned its “constructive engagement” policy towards the rising power and engaged in a trade war. Sino-American relations have been at a historical trough since the normalization of their relationship in the late 1970s. This book sheds new light on the current political disorder in the East Asian international arena. The new Asian disorder is analyzed from three perspectives: the first focuses on identity, the second on political economy, and the third on the triangular dynamic. This collection of essays concludes that, unless and until consensus can be reached on a coherent new framework for cooperation and rule enforcement among different stakeholders in East Asia, the current disorder may be expected to persist.

        Messages from the Past: History of Taiwan in Letters from the 17th to 20th Centuries

        by Lung-chih Chang, Yi-fan Lin, Wen-cheng Shih, Yin-yi cheng, Feng-nan Su, Sheng-chuan Chuang, Po-zong Chen, Sian-wei Zeng, Jen-tzu Huang

        Letters used to be an important medium for communication in the past, transferring information, recording events while also carrying feelings and thoughts of individuals. To understand the history of a period, letters provide appropriate source materials. In this book, eight letters are selected to reconstruct the history of Taiwan, including official letters of the governor-general of the Dutch East India Company, postcards from a Taiwanese Imperial Japan serviceman, and family letters from the son of Chi Hua Ko─a victim of the White Terror era. The book covers a time spanning from Dutch rule in the seventeenth century to post-war Taiwan in the mid twentieth century. Every letter reflects its historical background and tells an intriguing story. Interpretation of history is often affected by external factors like politics and is frequently manipulated or twisted. Still, history serves as an important basis for self-identity. With letters as sources, this book intends to take a serious and deep look at historical materials and view the history of Taiwan in a new light.
