Hydro-Diplomacy in Southeast Asia: The Taiwanese Case

Verre, Filippo LU (2021) In Journal of Management Policy and Practice p.34-46
Abstract
International isolation is the primary concern of Taiwan's foreign politics. The proximity with mainland China urged Taiwan to rely on several different strategies to maintain the coveted geopolitical survival from Beijing's sovereignty claims. Among the various strategies adopted over the years, Taipei has recently used hydro-diplomacy to expand its presence in Southeast Asia. President Tsai Ing-wen, in charge since May 2016, is the main sponsor of such a peculiar form of diplomacy. In January 2019, her inclusive policies towards ASEAN nations, particularly towards Indonesia, led to the signing of a historic agreement for the construction of a water purification plant in East Java.
