Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The political map of the world reveals that nearly all land is divided into states, a division that is man-made and arbitrary. This raises questions about the legitimacy of borders, especially given the existence of disputed territories and unrecognized or partially recognized countries. The recognition of a political unit as sovereign by other states can have significant implications, as unrecognized entities often struggle to engage in international cooperation, forcing them to develop alternative methods for external relations. This unique international status profoundly affects their politics, culture, and lifestyles. This book focuses on Taiwan, exploring how its exceptional status influences both its external and internal affairs. It highlights Taiwan’s international legal standing and the ramifications of its situation on international relations, particularly in the South China Sea and the dynamics between the US, China, and Taiwan. The chapters delve into Taiwan's democratic evolution, civil society activism, indigenous tourism, eco-tourism, and its portrayal in Polish media. Each aspect is examined through the lens of Taiwan's unique international circumstances, emphasizing how these factors shape the island's identity and future.
