Description: Containing collective wisdom from prominent scholars in various fields in Asian studies, this book covers the legal, economic, sociopolitical, and international aspects of economic integration. Chow examines the impact of the contending forces of national identity and economic interests following the integration of the economies of Taiwan and China and as a trading bloc is emerging across the Taiwan Strait. It analyzes how the formation of the Great China Economic Zone will affect Taiwan's rising national identity, the cross-strait and the triangular relations among the U.S., China, and Taiwan, as well as the resultant regional stability in East Asia.
