ISBN: 978-986-03-5413-3 / Paperback / NT$400 / January 2013

臺灣地處扼要，幾世紀以來歷經西班牙、荷蘭、日本等強權更迭，統治這塊土地。在經濟、文化、政治各領域，與你我生活的土地留下不可抹滅的影響，不同文化背景間衝突交融，形成臺灣現今的面貌，衍生而來的國族認同議題，持續不斷地在此辯論、發酵。

Global Encounters全書以英文呈現，由來自加拿大、香港、新加坡、英國、美國、臺灣等不同地域的專家學者，試以超越國族意識的框架，透過跨文化論述的觀點，進行「臺灣認同與國家地位」的辯證，同時也提醒我們：

在接納全球化影響時，切勿忘自身獨特的歷史傳統。

Taiwan’s status as an island surrounded by powerful nation states has forced upon it a history of permeable borders and an ever fluctuating cultural subjectivity. Originally inhabited by Austronesian tribal peoples, the island has over the centuries fallen under the political, economic, and cultural influences of the Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, and Chinese occupiers. Globalization has further transformed and complicated Taiwan’s vistas of political reforms, cultural productions, and ethnic re-composition. Such gradual but radical transformation has, in countless ways, encouraged the nation-state identity and identification to vacillate between insularism and globalization. This collection is an example of the multitude of voices that speak for Taiwan. These selected essays, contributed by scholars from different countries (Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, UK, and USA), engage with the debates on Taiwan’s identity and nationhood while also attempting to step beyond the nationalistic frame. Whereas the openness to new ideas may alter our perspectives, this collection reminds us to embrace external influences without forgetting to celebrate our unbroken, unique historical legacy.
