How concerned, however, should we truly be about the possibility of such conflict in the Taiwan Strait? Certainly, the stability of Taiwan's relationship with China has juggled between hopeful and treacherous; while Taiwan's promising 2008 elections brought fruitful and frequent dialogue across the Strait with China scaling back its overt military threats during President Ma Ying-jeou's first term, negotiations soured in his second term and led to the 2016 election of President Tsai Ing-wen, who has refused to endorse any version of the "one China" principle. Beijing, in turn, has increased military and diplomatic pressure on Taiwan. Kastner takes a three-argument approach in his analysis of the prospects of conflict in the Taiwan Strait. First, through exploring trends that include deepening economic integration, a shifting balance of military power, continued US commitment, and domestic political changes in both Taiwan and China, Kastner believes the likelihood of conflict in the Taiwan Strait has reduced significantly than in the past. Looking toward Taiwan's future, however, there is much potential for high destabilization due to the continuing cross-Strait military balance of power, a point not yet fully appreciated in existing writing on the Taiwan Strait. Despite this second point, Kastner ultimately outlines several plausible pathways through which both Taiwan and China can avoid military conflict"-- $c Provided by publisher 651 0 $a Taiwan $x Foreign relations $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Foreign relations $z Taiwan. 651 0 $a Taiwan Strait $x Strategic aspects. 650 0 $a National security $z Taiwan. 650 0 $a National security $z China. 651 6 $a Taiwan $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476619 $x Relations exterieures $0 (CaQQLa)201-0135375 $z Chine. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476619 651 6 $a Chine $0 (CaQQLa)201-0498073 $x Relations exterieures $0 (CaQQLa)201-0053864 $z Taiwan. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0498073 651 6 $a Taiwan, Detroit de $0 (CaQQLa)201-0374228 $x Aspect strategique. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0374228 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Asia $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a National security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033711 650 7 $a Strategic aspects of individual places. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355062 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a South China Sea $z Taiwan Strait. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01257517 651 7 $a Taiwan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207854 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kastner, Scott L. $t War and peace in the Taiwan Strait. $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2022 $z 9780231552738 $w (DLC) 2022006073 830 0 $a Contemporary Asia in the world. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6E840AE96FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
