Taiwan Studies and the Social Sciences
In: Issues & studies: a social science quarterly on China, Taiwan, and East Asian affairs, Band 40, Heft 3-4, S. 9-57
ISSN: 1013-2511
We seek to provide an overview of the relationship between the English-language study of Taiwan & the social science disciplines, focusing primarily on political science, yet touching also on sociology, developmental studies, & economics. We identify three main periods in the evolution of Taiwan studies: (1) that from the end of WWII to the late 1970s saw the marginalization of Taiwan studies vis-a-vis China studies; (2) that of the early 1980s to the late 1990s, when, due to Taiwan's rising economic strength & democratic transition, Taiwan studies began to rise to fame, to become well-integrated with the social sciences: & (3) that since 2000, with Taiwan studies now facing both challenges & opportunities as it tries to remain integrated with the social sciences. We close with a comparison of the different research environments in both the US & Taiwan, discuss their respective roles in influencing the overall development of Taiwan studies, & suggest ways in which the social science research conducted in these two major venues for Taiwan research can be integrated more closely. 125 References.

Policy Studies across Social Science Substance
In: Policy studies journal: an international journal of public policy, Band 20, Heft 3, S. 499-502
ISSN: 0190-292X
Policy studies or policy analysis can be broadly defined as the study of the nature, causes, & effects of alternative public policies. All fields of scientific knowledge, but especially the social sciences, are relevant to such a study. Sociology, for example, has developed a substantial amount of factual knowledge & theory in broad fields, eg, social control, socialization, & social change, that can be helpful in understanding the effects of alternative policies & the behavior of policymakers & appliers. Economics has developed sophisticated mathematical models for synthesizing normative & empirical premises in order to deduce means-ends policy recommendations. Psychology has developed techniques of statistical inference, cross-tabulation, survey research, & multivariate analysis. Anthropology, geography, & history provide a broader perspective over space & time than the other social sciences do. Philosophy provides direction to policy studies. Mathematics offer quantitative & computer science tools, while the physical & biological sciences provide models to emulate in the development of mathematically scientific laws. Political science is turning more toward the analysis of specific policy problem areas. More interdisciplinary research teams & more interaction among policy-oriented people from different disciplines may be needed. Modified AA

DoD, Social Science, and International Studies

The cycle of relations between the Dept of Defense (DoD) & the university is described with particular reference to the social sciences & international studies. This cycle is characterized by: a general decline in amity since WWII, decreased support for DoD objectives, a concern for the effect of DoD priorities on the general research profile, the growth of inhouse & nonacademic vendors in research & training, & the enclaving of the military-connected research community within the university. The pattern of DoD support for strategic studies, linguistics, & language & area studies is also examined. HA
