Why is Taiwan so important for U.S. interests in the Indo-Pacific region? How did it change from dictatorship to democracy? How did it become the most important source of high-end computer chips? Why is Taiwan now more threatened by Chinese invasion? For the answers to these questions and more, consider signing up for the Poli 379R sec 003 course: U.S.-Taiwan and Cross-Strait Relations. This course is relevant for Political Science, International Relations or Asia Studies majors who wish to understand the political dynamics surrounding Taiwan and its growing importance for the United States, the Indo-Pacific region and the world.

Previously serving as Director of the State Department’s Taiwan Coordination Office and Director (Ambassador equivalent) of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), he is uniquely qualified to share insights and perspectives on Taiwan, China and U.S. policy towards Taiwan.
