Economic Integration Toward the Peace Process

This book analyzed the possible range of an expected
regional arrangement between Taiwan and Mainland
China would be the first stage of the peace process.
This book is devoted to the examining the
linkage between the Cross-Strait peace process and
regional economic integration under the WTO regime.
Although the mutual business transactions are closer
than ever before, the political conflicts are more
serious to caused potential war. Even though there is
no official trade agreement, the actual trade and
cross-broader transactions are increasing year by
year. Since the Cross-Strait relationship is very
different from other regions in the world, the
accession into the WTO created an unique platform for
changing the hostility of political atmosphere. Under
traditional public international law, sovereignty has
been an issue of conflict between the Cross-Strait,
but there is no clear and present dispute of
sovereignty issue under the WTO system. Thus, deeper
economic integration under the WTO is the best way to
create a closer trade relationship and prevent war as
well.
