This book uses the postmodern military model to measure how public perception of the military is influenced by self-identification in Taiwan, and it shows that the public has little confidence or trust in their military, even as they remain acutely aware of the threat posed by an increasingly belligerent China and its ever-growing People's Liberation Army. While there has been much analysis as to what strategies and weapons systems should be adopted by ROC defense planners, relatively little has been written on how to create a more relevant military within Taiwan society. Ultimately, this book addresses these matters and provides policymakers within the ROC government and military, as well as researchers of Asia Pacific security, with an understanding of the current relationship between military and society, to assist in the creation of a more accountable military. 410 0$aEmerald points. 606 $aCivil-military relations$zTaiwan 606 $aPolitical Science$xPublic Policy$xMilitary Policy$2bisacsh 606 $aWarfare & defence$2bicssc 615 0$aCivil-military relations 615 7$aPolitical Science$xPublic Policy$xMilitary Policy. 615 7$aWarfare & defence. 676 $a322.5 700 $aKaralekas$b Dean$01531278 712 02$aEmerald Publishing Corporation. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793028003321 996 $aCivil-military relations in Taiwan$93776795 997 $aUNINA
