| Popis: | 107 Based on the research method of historical analysis, this paper divides the Go South Policy promoted by Lee Teng-hui into the first wave and the second wave of research. The first wave of Go South Policy is from 1994 to 1996, and the second wave is from 1997 to 1999.In this paper, the first-hand data and the second-hand data are filtered, re-integrated, rearranged, and re-edited in this paper by the method of literature analysis.This paper studies the domestic environmental factors and foreign environmental factors during Lee Teng-hui''s promotion of the Go South Policy period.This paper studies the purpose of Lee Teng-hui''s promotion of the Go South Policy.This paper examines the success or failure of Lee Teng-hui''s promotion of the Go South Policy and assesses its influencing factors.This article is used to understand the " Go South Policy " promoted by Lee Teng-hui as a part of "pragmatic diplomacy."In order to avoid excessive dependence on the People’s Republic of China on the economy. Taiwan launched The "no haste, be patient" policy.During the Lee Teng-hui period, the " Go South Policy " was promoted in response to the trend and changes in the global village, globalization, and regionalization.Because the United States established diplomatic relations with China, Taiwan broke diplomatic relations with the United States, causing Taiwan to be internationally isolated.In politics, Taiwan opposes diplomatic isolation in a pragmatic manner.Taiwan hopes that other countries will establish diplomatic relations with Taiwan in politics.In terms of economy or culture, Taiwan hopes to maintain close exchanges, interactions and contacts with Southeast Asian countries, hoping to enhance bilateral and multilateral economic, trade and investment relations between Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries.Finally, when Taiwan promoted the second wave of Go South Policy, it experienced financial crisis in Southeast Asia. This incident is also an important factor affecting Taiwan’s success or failure in promoting Go South Policy.Politically, from 1995 to 1996, cross-strait relations experienced the crisis in the Taiwan Strait, because US President Bill Clinton agreed with Lee Teng-hui to visit his alma mater.In 1999, Lee Teng-hui’s speech on special state-to-state relations triggered the Taiwan Strait crisis. Both are the historical context for the study of this article. The results of SWOT research and analysis of the Go South Policy of this paper show that the advantages of the Go South Policy (Strengths) include Taiwan''s advantage of using the geographical relationship with Southeast Asia, and exerting the advantages of Taiwan''s economy, trade, science and technology and soft power.The disadvantage of Taiwan''s promotion of the Go South Policy (Weaknesses) refers to the transfer of Taiwanese businessmen to Southeast Asia to set up factories. This will not actually increase the "job opportunities" in Taiwan, and will not solve the problem of high unemployment rate in Taiwan.Opportunities brought about by Taiwan''s promotion of the Go South Policy include opening informal dialogues between Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries, signing bilateral investment guarantee agreements, and enhancing the international status of institutions. Taiwan hopes to increase its participation in international affairs to understand the international situation. On the political and diplomatic level, Taiwan’s and Southeast Asian national leaders and high-level officials began to interact and dialogue.The threat to Taiwan''s Go South Policy (Threats) included China''s economic reform and opening up policy at that time, and preferential policies to attract Taiwanese businessmen to invest in China. The international situational factors of the Southeast Asian financial crisis occurred in 1997, which led to the negative chain effect of the anti-China movement in Southeast Asia in 1998.All in all, Taiwan’s first successful Go South Policy has successfully raised the amount of investment in Southeast Asia. However, due to various factors, the second wave, due to the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the amount of investment in Southeast Asia declined. |
