Mission

Established in 2020, the Taiwan Policy Initiative (TPI) provides policymakers and international observers of Taiwan a diverse perspective in grasping the complexity of Taiwan’s domestic politics and foreign relations. The policy articles here aspire to inspire and inform policy proposals for decision-makers concerning the future development of Taiwan. The four founding members are political scientists trained in the United States with rigorous methodological and reasoning training. For the past decades, they have been active in writing for various policy outlets in both English and Mandarin.

Serving its mission, TPI hopes to be a bridge between the founding members and other collaborators to deliver policy-relevant writings. Additionally, TPI can also be an academic research incubator of innovative ideas and thoughts. For the public, TPI aspires to rekindle the public’s interests in Taiwan’s domestic and foreign policy and attract international attention to Taiwan’s challenge in the international society.
