Final Program and Abstracts Final Program and Abstracts Sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Optimization The SIAM Activity Group on Optimization fosters the development of optimization theory, methods, and software -- and in particular the development and analysis of efficient and effective methods, as well as their implementation in high-quality software. It provides and encourages an environment for interaction among applied mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, scientists, and others active in optimization. In addition to endorsing various optimization meetings, this activity group organizes the triennial SIAM Conference on Optimization, awards the SIAG/Optimization Prize, and sponsors minisymposia at the annual meeting and other SIAM conferences. The activity group maintains a wiki, a membership directory, and an electronic discussion group in which members can participate, and also publishes a newsletter - SIAG/OPT News and Views.

  • Cross-Strait Relations After the 2016 Taiwan Presidential Election: the Impact of Changing Taiwanese Identity
    Cross-Strait Relations after the 2016 Taiwan Presidential Election: The Impact of Changing Taiwanese Identity Yitan Li, Ph.D. Associate Professor Political Science Seattle University [email protected] Enyu Zhang, Ph.D. Associate Professor International Studies Seattle University [email protected] Although cross-strait relations have been the most stable in the last eight years under the pro-mainland KMT government, the pro-independence DPP scored a major victory in the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections. This paper examines ways identity changes in Taiwan have influenced how Taiwanese view and deal with cross-strait relations and reactions from the mainland after the January elections. Using constructivism as the theoretical framework and survey data, we argue that Taiwan’s continued democratization has created a different social and political experience. This experience has solidified over time and created a unique Taiwanese identity. As time passes, the KMT which has a stronger historical and social lineage with the mainland is being weakened by Taiwan’s changing experience and identity. Nevertheless, peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are not only essential for people on both sides of the strait, they are essential for the region and the world. Both the new DPP government and the mainland government must rethink their strategies and policies in order to construct a new framework to ensure continued peace and stability in the region. *This is a preliminary draft. Please do not cite without authors’ permission. Introduction On January 16th, 2016, Taiwanese voters went to the polls to elect their next president and legislative members. Although it was no surprise that the incumbent Nationalist (KMT) Party led by Eric Chu Li-luan had been in trouble, the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) led by Tsai Ing-wen won a landslide victory in both the presidential and parliamentary elections.

  • One China One Taiwan.Pdf (PDF, 118.82KB)
    One China, One Taiwan Little Chance of a Red Future for Taipei Originally published at: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/taiwan/2016-01-12/one-china-one- taiwan January 12, 2016 Salvatore Babones On January 16, the people of Taiwan will go to the polls to elect a new president and new legislative representatives. Like the United States, Taiwan has a two-term limit on the presidency, which means that the incumbent president, Ma Ying-jeou, must step down. And like the 2016 U.S. elections, the 2016 Taiwan elections are wide open. Ma’s governing Kuomintang (KMT) party enters these elections in complete disarray. Its spring 2015 presidential primaries resulted in the nomination of a senior legislator named Hung Hsiu-chu, its first-ever female candidate for president. But then in an unprecedented move, she was displaced by party chairman Eric Chu at a special party convention held on October 17. Chu went on to claim Hung’s former place at the top of the ticket. Chu is widely viewed as a placeholder candidate with a mandate not so much to win January's election as to prevent serious losses for the KMT, especially in the legislature. Tellingly, he has not resigned his position as mayor of New Taipei City, Taiwan's largest local government area. He has instead taken three months’ leave while an acting mayor watches over his suburban Taipei power base. Opposing the KMT is the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and its candidate, Tsai Ing-wen. A veteran campaigner who lost to the KMT’s Ma Ying-jeou in 2012, Tsai is widely expected to emerge from the polls as Taiwan’s first female president.
