Presentation:
Specificity, Challenges and Future Evolution of
Taiwan’s Development Aid. A comparative Perspective.
Abstract:
After
the 1960s, Taiwan rapidly transformed itself from an aid recipient to a donor
country. Such transition reflected Taiwanese economic growth as well as its quick
development. Today, Taiwan - a non-Development Assistance Committee (DAC) donor
- is pursuing its assistance in several countries, through different forms and
in various domains. This presentation aims at first assessing the governance
and the modalities of Taiwan’s official development assistance (ODA) notably
since 2008 and the election of President Ma Ying-jeou (re-elected in 2012) who
within the framework of “truce diplomacy” with China promised to make foreign
aid mechanism more professional and more effective. Then, this contribution
focuses on the main specificities of Taiwanese development assistance notably
in the light of the particular status of Taiwan within the international
community and proposes some comparisons with other Asian donors. Finally, it
examines internal and international main challenges of Taiwanese ODA and
envisages its future direction in the context of a growing involvement of Asian
countries in development aid.
