The Ma-Xi Summit and Cross-Taiwan Strait Relations: Implications for Taiwan-India Cooperation

Abstract

This volume is an outcome of the conference that the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) in collaboration with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) held in New Delhi on 8 December 2015 at IDSA. The conference was organised in New Delhi to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of their respective Representative Offices in Taipei and New Delhi by India and Taiwan. The volume is a progressive addition to the newly arrived literature on the subject and covers a wider spectrum of India-Taiwan relations in the bilateral and regional contexts and beyond. The book promotes a possible strategic deliberation that the importance of India-Taiwan relation may not necessarily be confined to the bilateral context. It contextualises the vitality of Asia and beyond in India-Taiwan relations and deliberates on the potential areas of strength where they can possibly cooperate in the future.
