Published by Academia Sinica Press in May 2026, Sino-American Relations under the Biden Administration is a new peer-reviewed volume edited by Cheng-Yi Lin, an Adjunct Research Fellow at the Institute of European and American Studies, Academia Sinica, featuring a foreword by former Secretary-General to the President Bih-Jaw Lin. Gathering top Taiwanese scholars in political science and international relations, this volume delivers a sharp, direct analysis of contemporary geostrategic competition and its structural impact on regional security.
The volume offers a unique look into President Biden’s diplomatic leadership and decision-making psychology as a mediator during compounding global crises. Strategically arranged to pivot from macro-level global competition to micro-level regional flashpoints, the chapters track how superpower rivalries directly pressure the frontlines of the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. Combining empirical rigor with exceptional institutional archival value, the book also appends critical primary sources—including historical records of Taiwanese presidential meetings with U.S. delegations—making it an essential text for understanding the future of cross-strait strategy.
