| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Over the last two decades, Taiwan has weathered two global financial crises: the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998 and the sub-prime loan crisis of 2008-2009. Each time the island's economy emerged from the crisis relatively unscathed. Many of the elements that constitute Taiwan's economic resilience have been fostered through entrenched institutional arrangements and established policy orientations over a long period. Taiwan managed to retain the bulk of these long-running sources of economic resilience despite the tremendous external pressures exerted by neo-liberal policy advocates to dismantle these 'out-dated' policy thinking and practices in the name of reform during the decade-long interval between the two crises. Taiwan was able to cope with the 2008-2009 global financial crisis thanks also to a more enabling regional environment created through stronger cooperation among Asian economies and under a new awakening among the East Asian policy makers. |
