Although everyone recognizes the need to open Taiwan to U.S. farm products, sharp differences have come into focus over the issue of freer trade. The contributors to this volume explore how protectionist measures should be eased, how domestic policies affect both Taiwanese and U.S. agriculture, and what pressures might lead to reform without jeopardizing the relationship between the two trading partners.
