This edited volume offers international perspectives on managing the escalating tensions surrounding Taiwan.The book examines responses of key stakeholders to the issue, including Japan, Australia, South Korea, India, Canada, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. The chapters analyze how these states navigate and manage the intricacies of the US–China rivalry over Taiwan, focusing on strategies such as balancing and hedging. While existing works explore the policies of China, Taiwan, and the United States regarding Taiwan’s status, there is little scholarship addressing the stances other international stakeholders. This volume fills that gap by analyzing the strategies and policies these stakeholders adopt to deter China, their efforts to safeguard economic and political interests, and the challenges they face in balancing relations with the US, China, and Taiwan. Collectively, the chapters deepen our understanding of the strategic dynamics surrounding Taiwan and shed light on the roles played by key actors striving to uphold peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific.This book will be of interest to students of Asian security, Chinese politics, and International Relations.
