A Question of Time: Enhancing Taiwan's Conventional Deterrence Posture
For the foreseeable future, strategic planners and analysts of international
security issues are likely to consider East Asia the most critical arena in the world
where great power politics and the ambitions of a rising China play out. Taiwan’s
security requirements and its relationship with the People’s Republic of China are
center stage in this regional drama. This new study, A Question of Time: Enhancing
Taiwan’s Conventional Deterrence Posture, addresses Taiwan’s defense needs with
fresh new thinking. It proposes some very different strategies Taiwan’s leaders
could consider to deter threats from Beijing, and we hope it will provoke some lively and productive conversations among military and regional experts.
This study is the second in a new series by the Center for Security Policy
Studies (CSPS) of George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and
Government, aimed at fostering collaboration on important topics in international
security. A Question of Time was truly a collaboration: Schar School Professor
Michael Hunzeker teamed with Professor Alexander Lanoszka of the University
of Waterloo, and the research, travel and drafting team including five doctoral
students at George Mason.
