Encyclopedia of Taiwan Studies

Brill's Encyclopedia of Taiwan Studies provides a comprehensive overview of the rich scope of Taiwan studies, a discipline that took root in Taiwan and around the world in the 1990s. The birth of Taiwan studies reflected an important epistemic challenge in the existing academic landscape of Sinology and China studies, as it required a distinctive focus on Taiwan's history, society, culture, economics, politics, and international relations. The encyclopedia presents the diverse aspects of Taiwan's past and present in nearly 600 entries written by more than 300 scholars from around the world who are experts in the fields of Taiwan's archaeology, history, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, political science, international relations, indigenous studies, literature, gender studies, media studies, cinema and documentary film, music, and art. The encyclopedia can thus be viewed as a portal to the multifaceted world of Taiwan, with its vibrant culture, important developments, and radical changes.
