Over the centuries, theories of sovereignty have evolved and changed. The concept of self-determination has becomes the model universally embraced by the international community. The pith of the theory is that "the people decide the fate of the land," as opposed to "the land decides the people's fate."
With the emergence of modern democracies, the concept of popular sovereignty has become the strongest foundation which Taiwan’s status as a sovereign nation rest upon. Both the Cairo Declaration and the Postdam Proclamation were mere statements made during wartime by some of the Allied Powers. Can these documents be taken for granted to determine the fate of Taiwan’s people today, more than half a century after their announcement?
The issue of Taiwan's sovereign status not only affects the safety and well-being of Taiwan's 23 million people, but it also has significant implications for peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
This book will unveil the mystery of Taiwan's sovereignty status and will discuss the various schools of thoughts on this issue in-depth from international law, international politics, and historical perspectives.
