The Taiwan Experience, 1950-1980: Contemporary Republic of China

Hsiung, James C.

Legal Theory & Systems

Praeger

This volume records the proceedings of a 1988 conference on democracy and social justice as they have evolved in the United States and, comparatively, in Taiwan and on the Chinese mainland. Further themes include lessons of Sun Yat-senism in action in Taiwan, socialist democratic reforms on the Chinese mainland, and the search for paradigms of endogenous democratization. The fundamental question of whether democracy and social justice can thrive within the historical and contemporary Sinic cultural systems that abound across the face of Asia is frequently addressed here. Co-published with the Contemporary U.S.-Asia Research Institute.

<p>"China's Bitter Victory" is a comprehensive analysis of China's epochal war with Japan. Striving for a holistic understanding of China's wartime experience, the contributors examine developments in the Nationalist, communist, and Japanese-occupied areas of the country. More than just a history of battles and conferences, the book portrays the significant impact of the war on every dimension of Chinese life, including politics, the economy, culture, legal affairs, and science. For within the overriding struggle for national survival, the competition for political goals continued. China ultimately triumphed, but at a price of between 15 and 20 million lives and vast destruction of property and resources. And China's bitter victory brought new trials for the Chinese people in the form of civil war and revolution. This book tells the story of China during a crucial period pregnant with consequences not only for China but also for Asia and the world as well. Addressed to students, scholars, and general readers, the book aims to fill a gap in the existing literature on modern Chinese history and on World War II.</p>

<p>In his analysis of the political parameters of international law, and conversely, the law's relevance to international relations, Hsiung (politics, New York U.; Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences) reconciles the competing dominant theoretical paradigms in the IR field neorealism and neoliberalism. In chapters on international law in systemic perspective, self-help and systemic order, sovereignty and its restraint, and the rise of community interests, he explains how anarchy paradoxically fosters norms and institutions. His conclusion looks back to Hobbesian, Kantian, and Grotian perspectives, and forward to future trends. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.</p>
