This fully revised 2nd edition of the Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Taiwan provides a comprehensive overview of both contemporary Taiwan and the Taiwan studies field.

Written by an international team of Taiwan experts, the Handbook includes major topics in Taiwanese history, domestic politics, political economy, society, culture, and international relations. Each chapter summarises the major findings in the field and highlights long-term trends, recent observations, and potential future developments in Taiwan, revealing its long journey from a frontier island to a highly industrialised country struggling for international recognition.

Up-to-date, interdisciplinary, and academically rigorous, the Handbook offers the reader an accessible and fascinating insight into contemporary Taiwan and will be of interest to students, academics, and policymakers with an interest in all things Taiwan.

Gunter Schubert is Professor of Greater China Studies at the Department of Chinese Studies at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He is also the founder and director of the European Research Centre on Contemporary Taiwan (ERCCT), a central unit of the same university.
