Please join the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub on Thursday, November 16 at 9:00 a.m. ET for a virtual launch of a new book by Hub nonresident fellow, Lev Nachman, and co-author Jonathan Sullivan, titled, “Taiwan: A Contested Democracy Under Threat.”

There has never been greater international interest in Taiwan, nor such widespread concern. For decades, Taiwanese people have hoped that their achievements in economic transformation and democratic transition would be recognized, and that Taiwan could participate and contribute to international society on its own merits. Taiwan’s desire to be seen as a respected player on the global stage has generally been frustrated. To meaningfully care about what happens in Taiwan, however, requires an understanding of what makes Taiwan special, why it matters and what can be done to keep Taiwan peaceful.
