  • 1 Draft, Not for Citation Historical Perspectives on the Taiwan
    Historical Perspectives on the Taiwan Relations Act Steven Phillips, Towson University AACS, October 2014, Washington, DC Draft: Not for citation or quotation. There exist several ways to understand or explain the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act (TRA). First, the TRA represented a turning point in the history of United States relations with Taiwan. The first half of this story runs from the early Cold War to the late 1970s, when President Jimmy Carter completed the process of rapprochement begun by Richard Nixon. Taiwan’s “consolation prize” for the switch in diplomatic recognition to the People’s Republic was the ambiguous commitment of the TRA. This narrative continues to the present as the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan struggles to maintain its international space and ties to Washington. Second is the story of the troubled presidency of Jimmy Carter, where domestic economic woes, foreign crises, and a sense of malaise led to the land-slide victory of Ronald Reagan and the rebirth of the Conservative movement in the United States. The TRA is one of many signs of growing discontent with Carter. Third is the long history of conflict between Congress and the President over foreign policy. The trends of the Nixon/Ford era combined with President Jimmy Carter’s weakness and a series of foreign policy crises to further embolden Congress. As one observer noted, “A careful analysis of the Taiwan Relations Act leaves no doubt that is does serve—in some respects, admirably—as an illuminating case study of congressional activism in foreign affairs.”1 He attributes this to a reaction to the growth of presidential power throughout the twentieth century.

  • The China Odyssey
    The China Odyssey A University of Michigan Expedition to China and Tibet 1993 Jim and Anne Duderstadt The Universitiy of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 1 During May of 1993, Anne and I had an opportunity to accompany a delegation of Michigan faculty and alumni on an extraordinary journey across modern China, including a visit to the autonomous region of Tibet. This trip was quite unlike anything we had experienced before. It combined high-level visits with government officials, interaction with the leaders of Chinese universities, and major alumni outreach activities with critical development efforts aimed at building endowment for the University's Center for Chinese Studies. In a sense, the trip represented a natural extension of the successful University Seminars series. A number of alumni who were significant supporters of the University were invited to participate in a trip, which had been carefully arranged by members of the Center for Chinese Studies, under the direction of Professor Ken Lieberthal. Included in the faculty group leading the trip were Leonard Woodcock, Adjunct Professor and former Ambassador to China, and Marshall Wu, Curator of Asian Art at the University's Museum of Art. The intent was to provide these alumni with an in-depth exposure to China and exceptional access to China's leaders and educational and cultural institutions. Because of the unusual nature of the trip and the high level of anticipated interactions, it was felt important that the president should be a member of this delegation. This trip would represent the first time that the president of the University had visited China since President Shapiro's trip in 1981.
