It is also Taiwan’s regional strategy for Asia, envisaging a people-centred agenda of Taiwan’s national development a…

The Impact of Democratization, Political Culture, and Diplomatic Isolation on Think-Tank Development in Taiwan
Taiwan’s landscape of think tanks, despite having emerged during a time of Leninist one-party governance and state-led economic development not unlike that in Mainland China, is today marked by a substantial agency in conducting both research and advocacy. This sets them apart from their counterparts on the mainland. We ask how this development was shaped by Taiwan’s evolution as a political entity, especially its experience of gradual political …

Harvard Crooners: Building Intergenerational Relationships Through Participatory Music Making
The world is rapidly aging, and yet aging is fraught with many difficulties. In particular, the rights of older people to participate fully in cultural life are frequently not met.

Specifically, instead of giving traditional, non-participatory performances for older people as is commonly done in nur…

A harmonized Southeast Asia? Explanatory typologies of Asean countries’ strategies to the rise of China
In the face of a rising China, some scholars have argued that ASEAN countries will choose to either bandwagon with or balance against China, while others believe they will respond with a more moderate policy known as ‘hedging’. In considering these options, ASEAN countries must take into account their individual interests within the economic and security structure of this region. In this research, we argue that each ASEAN country confronts diverg…
Does self-financing matter? Recalibrating the rationale of NGOs’ self-reliance in search of sustainability
