Sustaining the triangular balance

As Washington, Taipei, and Beijing commence their new administrations, this monograph sets out to examine their current and former respective Taiwan Strait policies and the strategic implications for cross-strait relations. Notwithstanding their domestic political pressures at home and different normative and strategic orientations and objectives, all three actors share the common national security interest in continuing and deepening the current peaceful China-Taiwan trajectory that has existed since May 2008.
