This unique volume highlights Taiwan's ongoing efforts to mediate between competing political actors, a means to ensure domestic stability and national security without severely affecting its ...continuous economic growth and sovereign status in international society. Taiwan's Politics in the 21st Century concentrates on three general areas: domestic politics, political economy, and external relations.
The relationship between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China is regarded as a very serious potential source of conflict in East Asia, especially now that the questions of Hong Kong and Macau ...have been settled, and increased democratisation in Taiwan is seen as a threat by mainland China. This book, which brings together leading international scholars of maritime security and also strategic thinkers from within Taiwan itself, examines a wide range of questions concerning Taiwan's perception of the naval threat from mainland China, and how Taiwan's navy and naval strategic thinking is responding, including discussions of the strength of Taiwan's naval forces, mainland China's claims and ambitions in the South China Sea, and the controversial question of Theatre Missile Defence.
'As one of the few studies dealing with this topic, this volume ... provides valuable insights and analyses for further inquiry both in the field of military and strategic planning ... .' - Journal of Malaysian Studies
Optičku je dubinu aerosola (AOD) moguće točno izračunati na temelju uzastopnih mjerenja izravnog i difuznog Sunčeva zračenja na tlu. Međutim, prostorna pokrivenost i frekvencija lokacije uzrokuju ...određena ograničenja. Stoga su satelitske snimke ispravan alat za dobivanje proizvoda optičke dubine aerosola s više prostornih informacija i obrazaca raspodjele aerosola. Daljinskim istraživanjima aerosola možemo bolje razumjeti najbolji pristup računanju optičke dubine aerosola u urbanim i ruralnim područjima i mogu se uočiti razlike zbog svojstava površinske reflektivnosti. Ovaj se članak bavi konceptima smanjenja kontrasta i pristupima tamnih meta koji se ispituju snimkama Landsata i opažanjima Sunčevog fotometra za povezivanje raspodjele optičke dubine aerosola iznad grada Taipeija u Tajvanu. Za područja sa svijetlim površinama kao što su gradovi navedeni se koncepti primjenjuju metodom koeficijenta disperzije zajedno sa Sunčevim fotometrom kako bi se u velikoj mjeri smanjile pogreške. Za razliku od toga, algoritam tamne mete s odnosom površinske refleksije između plavih (0,49 μm), crvenih (0,66 μm) i infracrvenih (2,1 μm) spektralnih pojaseva prikladan je za vlažno tlo i područja s vegetacijom. Računanje prostorne raspodjele optičke dubine aerosola uspoređuje se s proizvodima MODIS AOD-a i AERONET-a kako bi se provjerila točnost rezultata. RMSE je bio u rasponu od 0,2 do 0,4 i oko 50% podataka bilo je unutar granica očekivane pogreške (EE=± (0,05+0,15 AODsunphometer).
Since the early 1980s, the cross-strait relationship between Taiwan and mainland China has exploded, driven by economic and political reforms. As a result, each would suffer great economic pain and ...dislocation in the event of a major disruption in that rapidly growing economic relationship. This monograph analyzes the political impact of that relationship and evaluates the prospects for Beijing to exploit it by employing economic coercion against Taiwan.
Economists have had much to say about what causes aggregate economic growth, but they have been more reticent about the distributional dimension of that growth. Understanding development and the ...process of poverty reduction requires understanding not only how total income grows but also how its distribution behaves over time. This book is a major new contribution to that process. The authors propose a decomposition of differences in entire distributions of household incomes, shedding new light on the powerful, and often conflicting, forces that underpin the changes in poverty and inequality that accompany the process of economic development. This approach is applied to three East Asian countries--Indonesia, Malaysia, and China--and to four in Latin American--Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. This volume presents a fascinating collection of studies on the dynamics of income inequality based on micro data. Using a simple but powerful empirical methodology, the authors analyze the roles of prices, occupational choice, and educational choice in accounting for household income and its contribution to inequality. It casts doubt on the grand theories of growth and income inequality that have dominated discussions in development economics. It paves the way for a full-blown, micro-based general equilibrium theory of income determination and income inequality. —James Heckman, Professor of Economics, University of Chicago, and 2000 Nobel Laureate in Economics This is a ground-breaking study by an outstanding group of authors. In attempting to disentangle the forces that influence changes in income distribution over time and to assess their quantitative impact within a coherent decomposition framework, the volume sets a new standard for future research on the dynamics of income inequality. —Anthony Shorrocks, Director, World Institute for Development Economics Research, Helsinki
Taiwan in Troubled Times is concerned with Taiwan's politics and its relations with China following the election of Chen Shui-bian as President in March 2000. This event created problems between ...Taiwan and China and led to political gridlock in Taiwan. The Chen Administration is evaluated in this book. So is President Chen's party, which evolved as an opposition party and is now in power but is unaccustomed to the role.

Tajvan je suvremeni industrijalizirani megalopolis koji se nalazi
na samom rubu drevne kineske kulture. Ovaj je maleni otok u
zadnjih nekoliko desetljeća prešao put od nerazvijene
poljoprivredne ...zabiti do svjetski važnoga tehnološkog diva. Ali
usprkos gospodarskom blagostanju i demokratskim
reformama, pojavili su se dodatni društveni problemi, uključujući suicid, koji je od 1982. godine do danas postao
jednim od deset glavnih uzroka smrti. U ovom se radu
podastiru podaci o broju samoubojstava na Tajvanu od 1986.
do 2007. godine. Razmatraju se društveno-kulturni, vjerski i
gospodarski čimbenici povezani sa samoubojstvom u
tajvanskom društvu. Iznose se i neke mjere za smanjivanje
broja suicida na Tajvanu u bliskoj budućnosti.
