Disputes at port, disputes at sea
From the 1950s to the 1980s, disputes about fishing rights and practices that emerged due to decolonisation processes and the expansion of maritime boundaries shaped diplomatic relations between Taiwan and Pacific polities. Whether legal or illegal, fisheries provided a space where Taiwan and Pacific locales engaged at state and non-state levels. Using newspapers and archival materials, this article examines how the Taiwanese fishing community in…
Unexpected Encounters in Island Worlds
Researchers have examined how the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) cultivated relations with Chinese diaspora communities to secure recognition of their government as the true homeland of the Chinese people. However, less attention has been paid to how accidental and contingent encounters between communities resident in the ROC or the PRC and those living abroad have affected the identity of Chinese diaspora commun…
The Cultural, Social and Political Contexts of Diplomacy
Given Taiwan's limited formal diplomatic recognition, this paper examines interviews with diplomats/officials from one of Taiwan's Pacific allies, Tuvalu, as well as interviews with other Pacific diplomats in Taiwan and Taiwanese diplomats/officials, to outline diverging conceptions of diplomacy in Taiwan's official alliances. The paper first analyses interviews with Pacific diplomats in Taiwan, discussing how diplomats link meanings of diplomacy…
Oceanic diplomacy and foreign-policy making in Tuvalu
Recently, scholars of the Pacific region have discussed the concept of Oceanic diplomacy. Oceanic diplomacy focuses on diplomatic practices or principles that belong to Pacific cultures and are distinct from but sometimes work in concert with Western diplomatic practices. The goal of exploring Oceanic diplomacy is examining the current value of these practices and principles, whether within a single country, among Pacific nations, or at the globa…
Pity the Fishing People’
Newspapers and archives from Taiwan indicate a long history of Taiwan's commercial fishing in the Pacific that has largely been overlooked. Using these resources, this article analyses the relationship between the Taiwan government and Taiwan fishermen in the Pacific from the 1940s to the 1980s, demonstrating how non-state actors such as fishermen dictated Taiwan's official engagements in the region. I first outline the history of legal and illeg…
James Clifford’s ‘Indigenous Articulations’ as Travelling Theory? The Search for Sustainability in Theorising Taiwan’s Indigenous and Han Populations
In 2000, the noted scholar James Clifford delivered an address entitled ‘Indigenous Articulations’ in which he challenged dichotomies of authenticity/inauthenticity that plague theories of indigeneity in the Pacific region. Today, ‘Indigenous Articulations’ has travelled far beyond its original audience, and some Taiwanese scholars who analyse the literature/culture of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples have adopted this work. Yet, in contrast to Cliffo…
Domestic and bilateral challenges to building relationality in cultural diplomacy
In this paper, I analyse archival research and semi-structured interviews conducted between 2017 and 2018 in Tuvalu and Taiwan. I outline Tuvalu’s performative cultural diplomacy – performance/dance-based cultural policies used for diplomacy in Taiwan and other international locations – and problems that beset this diplomacy. I first discuss the importance to Tuvalu of the performative/dance form fatele, especially as it relates to domestic diplo…
