The world's tallest building -- Building Taiwan -- From farmers to manufacturers -- From "free China" to democratic Taiwan -- "America is boring at night" -- "An opportunity full of threats": cross-strait economic interaction -- Making peace with the China inside and the China outside -- The international birdcage -- Why Taiwan matters to American and the world.

"Written by a leading expert on Taiwan, Why Taiwan Matters offers a comprehensive and engaging introduction to a country that exercises a role in the world far greater than its tiny size would indicate. Shelley Rigger explains how Taiwan became such a key global player, highlighting economic and political breakthroughs so impressive they have been called 'miracles.' She links these accomplishments to Taiwan's determined society, vibrant culture, and unique history. Drawing on arts, economics, politics, and international relations, Rigger explores Taiwan's importance to China, the United States, and the world. Considering where Taiwan may be headed in its wary standoff with China, she traces how the focus of Taiwan's domestic politics has shifted to a Taiwan-centered strategy. All readers interested in Asia and international affairs, as well as travelers to the region, will find this an accessible and entertaining overview, replete with human interest stories and colorful examples of daily life in Taiwan."--Publisher's Website.
