The Proposal of Cross-Strait Interim Agreement
No full textThe two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been divided and ruled for more than 70 years. Today, they are still in an ambiguous situation of both struggle and competition. In addition, the conflicts in the Taiwan Strait have been heating up in recent years, and the geopolitical fight between the United States and China for hegemony in East Asia has forced Taiwanese people to think about a new transition plan for "peaceful" handling of cross-strait conflicts. The cross-strait interim agreement was proposed in the late 1990s and has been unable to achieve a peaceful settlement of conflicts and disputes between the two sides of the strait under the changing international situation. Therefore, the two sides of the strait need to re-examine the most suitable solution for dealing with each other's problems. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the related qualitative theories of the interim agreement from the perspective of international law. The United States, China and Taiwan have put forward the concept of the connotation of the interim agreement between the two sides of the strait, and through the international example of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Relevant enlightenment of the negotiation between the international community, and the situation between Russia and Ukraine. It is hoped that the Republic of China can become a "safe buffer area" under the competition between the major powers of China and the United States and explore a feasible conceptual plan for a cross-strait interim agreement
[[alternative]]Research on Cross Taiwan Strait Relations on Integration Theory－Based on European Union Experience
No full text[[abstract]]In the first half part of 20th century, there were two world wars. Both China and Europe had been suffered the bitterness of cruelty as killing and damage. After 1945, followed a temporary peace, in 1949 a new nation－The People’s Republic of China were given birth to the world. Since then China has been divided to two parts across Taiwan Strait. There are the Republic of China founded in 1912, and the People’s Republic of China founded in 1949 co-exists in the world.
After 30 years opposition in the area across Taiwan Strait came a period of hot communication for a decade, then another decade of warm economic relationship and cold political situation, this is a ”Dilemma”.
In Europe after the 2nd World War, France and German decided to hold hands rather than fighting. Since 1951, from ECSC to EEC, six European countries, including France, German, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxemburg combined together and formed EC. Because of the spill-over effect, the EC enlarged from 6 to 10, to 12, to 15, to 25 countries, as a European Union. Can Taiwan and PROC have a win-win policy by copying the European Union experience of integration?
In this study, there comes a conclusion: after a long term of economic communication both side of cross Taiwan Strait will get more and more depending on each other, and the political Authorities of both sides might getting to a common consensus for the best benefit of the people of Taiwan and PROC: A Greater China Common Market could be a mid-term target for this area. After the gap of social, culture, and political system getting smooth out, a political integration might be the next step.

Public Support for the Financing of RD&D Activities in New Clean Energy Technologies
Get PDFSeveral market failures, as well as other technical, economic and regulatory barriers to the market penetration of clean energy technologies result in under-investment of private innovators in RD&D. Therefore, public support is needed in order to induce innovations. Policy tools creating market conditions that are attractive for the exploitation of clean technologies (market pull) must be combined with other tools directly supporting the development of these technologies through the provision of public funds (technology push). Thereby, financing policy instruments should be chosen so that their characteristics match with those of the specific innovation process being targeted at the same time that social welfare is maximized. We develop an analytical framework to define the form of public support and to provide recommendations on the optimal choice of both technology push and market pull instruments.clean energy technologies; innovation finance; public support; technology push; market pull
