Economic Integration Toward the Peace Process

The book "Economic Integration Toward the Peace Process" by Blake C.Y. Wang provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential regional arrangements between Taiwan and mainland China as a first step in the peace process. It examines the connection between the peace process across the Taiwan Strait and regional economic integration within the framework of the WTO regime. Despite the increasing economic transactions between the two sides, the political conflict situation remains tense, raising the risk of potential war. The book highlights how WTO membership has created a unique platform to change the hostile political atmosphere and promote deeper economic integration, which is seen as key to establishing closer trade relations and preventing conflicts.
