Description

Why should we focus on Taiwan to understand the future risks facing the world? Professor Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King's College London, presents a compelling case for this in his latest book, Why Taiwan Matters: A Short History of a Small Island That Will Dictate Our Future, published by St. Martin's Press.

Why Taiwan Matters provides critical insights into the factors behind today's tense geopolitical climate. Brown examines how Taiwan navigates its position at the center of a dangerous international standoff and how the global community can better understand the tensions in the Taiwan Strait. Set for release in January 2025, this book serves as an essential guide for anyone looking to understand Taiwan's unique story.

The episode is hosted by PhD candidate Jiabin Song from Vytautas Magnus University's Centre for Asian Studies.
