About
The Taiwan Policy Database aims to create a one-of-a-kind, interactive website highlighting the policies that have shaped cross-Strait policy from all three sides: the United States, the People’s Republic of China, and the Republic of China (Taiwan). The website features a dynamic timeline featuring the original source documents, agreements, and speeches that have formed the foundation of Taiwan policy from the perspective of all three sides. Some of the original sources include never-before seen demarches and correspondence on U.S. policy towards Taiwan. The website features written analyses, called “narratives,” below the timeline that summarizes key analyses of the evolution of cross-Strait ties from all perspectives. We hope that the website will thus serve as a living archive that captures the key policies and shifts in cross-Strait approaches over time and be of value for academics, policy-makers, think tanks, and the general public.
