Over the past half century, Taiwan has emerged as what President George W. Bush has called a “free and democratic and prosperous" society. It has one of the world's richest populations and a robust democratic policy. But Taiwan continues to face major challenges, including ongoing difficulty in consolidating democracy in the face of highly partisan politics, a significant threat from the opposite side of the Taiwan Strait, and fragile economic growth.
How can Taiwan break through political gridlock on governmental reform and defense spending? How can the United States and Taiwan work together to ensure the island's security? What are the obstacles to an even more prosperous economy and vibrant society on Taiwan? Who, ultimately, will decide Taiwan's future? On March 22, AEI and The Heritage Foundation will host Ma Ying-jeou, mayor of Taipei and chairman of the Kuomintang, who will answer these and other questions.
