摘要
'India's rise' has been the main driver of the India-Taiwan relationship over the recent years. Acknowledging India's growing profile and influence in international society in the early 2000s, Taiwan has shown greater willingness to team up with India. As a result, Taiwan favours a more engagement-based policy toward India. Treating 'India's rise' as the main factor, this article tries to provide a new perspective for understanding India-Taiwan relations. For this purpose, the article will address the development of the relationship, looking specifically at the economic, trade and strategic cooperation as well as educational and academic exchanges. This article concludes that the two sides are poised for constructive engagement but need to establish a long-term framework for realising the full potential. © 2013 SAGE Publications.
