James Chang
Hello, my name is Chia-Chin Chang, but you can also call me James. I am currently a master’s student at the Graduate Institute of National Policy and Public Affairs at National Chung Hsing University in Taiwan. I received my bachelor’s degree in Finance from Feng Chia University, where I also completed a certificate program in Law and Economics, which provided me with a cross-disciplinary foundation in both financial analysis and legal reasoning. My academic background combines public administration, land governance, and policy analysis, with a particular interest in how governments manage complex land-use issues. My current research focuses on the governance challenges surrounding farmland factories in Taiwan—industrial facilities operating on agricultural land without formal registration. Using the Multiple Streams Model as my analytical framework, I explore how problems, policies, and political dynamics intersect to shape land-use decisions. My thesis integrates both qualitative and quantitative methods, including stakeholder interviews and spatial analysis, to examine how local governments balance economic development with regulatory constraints.
Alfred Kuo
My name is Yi-Hsing Kuo, but feel free to call me Alfred.

I received my undergraduate degree in Political Science with a concentration in International Relations.
My research focuses on international political economy, particularly on how transnational sanctions and supply chain decoupling are reshaping global economic and geopolitical landscapes. I aim to explore how states respond to the retreat of globalization and how regional strategies emerge as responses to growing uncertainty. I am also particularly interested in Taiwan’s role in the international system—how it navigates strategic ambiguity, sustains economic resilience, and engages in global governance despite diplomatic constraints.

Janet Dotson
Janet Dotson is currently a master’s student studying Political Economy at the Taipei School of Economics and Political Science (TSE) at National Tsinghua University located in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Before pursuing studies within TSE, she completed a BBA in International Business with minors in Chinese Language and Culture and Asian Studies from Loyola University Chicago.
Janet’s journey and interest in Taiwan began right after graduating from her undergraduate program. Following her interests developed throughout high school and college, she was awarded a Huayu Enrichment Scholarship by Taiwan’s MOE and studied Mandarin for 10 months at NTU’s International Chinese Language Program (ICLP). During this time, she discovered her current master’s program and the opportunity to explore Taiwan’s unique role in the international system. She recognizes that in the age of a shifting global order, Asia is emerging as a focal point, and Taiwan—by nature of both its economic status and geography—exists as an extremely important player in this transition. Living and learning in Taiwan has deepened her understanding of Taiwan’s international position and domestic politics.
As for research, Janet’s current interests focus on the state of women’s representation in Taiwan and larger Northeast Asia. In terms of women’s formal political participation, Taiwan has proven successful in normalizing women’s presence in politics. As women around the world are beginning to see a “backlash” in the form of constrained rights and resurgence of imposed traditional gender roles, research on how to overcome barriers to women’s participation is increasingly important, and Taiwan can serve as an insightful case. She is additionally interested in Taiwan’s domestic political attitudes and how they relate to cross-strait tensions.
Janet is grateful for this opportunity with the Taiwan Research Academy and is looking forward to both expanding her knowledge on Taiwan and sharing her perspectives.

Ashari Gordan
I’m Ashari Gordan, a 4th year at Sam Houston State University with a major in Political Science and a minor in Legal Studies. I hope to gain connections and a new insight on Taiwanese role within the topic of International relations.
Yu Ting Chen
I am Yu Ting Chen, a master’s student at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, with research interests at the intersection of military strategy, cross-Strait relations, and maritime security. This summer, I am serving as a research intern at the American Enterprise Institute, contributing to the Coalition Defense of Taiwan program.
My current project focuses on how Taiwan can leverage emerging defense technologies—particularly unmanned systems and electronic warfare (EW)—to counter a potential Chinese amphibious invasion. Drawing on operational insights from Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression, this case study models a PLA beach landing on Taiwan’s southwestern coast and explores how Taiwan could delay, disrupt, and degrade invading forces through the deployment of layered drone warfare and counter-EW systems.
As part of this work, I am conducting in-depth research on UAVs, UGVs, AI-navigated drones, and fiber optic drones, with particular attention to their applicability in maritime and littoral environments. I am also examining how these technologies have been utilized in recent Ukrainian battlefield operations and People’s Liberation Army (PLA) military exercises.
In parallel, I am investigating Taiwan’s indigenous drone manufacturing capacity under the Taiwan Defense Industry Base Optimization Act (TEDIBOA) and related policy frameworks. This dual-track approach—integrating operational analysis and industrial capability assessment—aims to generate actionable recommendations for enhancing Taiwan’s asymmetric defense posture and overall resilience in the face of a high-intensity conflict scenario.
Cole Romig
I am a senior at Western Michigan University who is studying international relations. My fields of study are international politics and U.S. diplomacy in East Asia and Europe. My planned research is on Taiwan’s role in international institutions, international diplomacy, and potential Taiwanese allies.
Kuan-Kai Wang
My name is Kuan-Kai Wang, and I am currently a master’s student in the Department of Political Science at Soochow University in Taipei.
My academic interests lie in political theory and transitional justice. My thesis is structured in two parts. The first part is theoretical, focusing on the role of emotions in periods of political transformation. While some scholars emphasize retributive emotions as a central driving force in transitional societies, I argue that these emotions are only one element within a broader spectrum of social emotions. My research seeks to explore alternative emotional dynamics beyond retribution, with a particular focus on the case of Taiwan.
The second part of my thesis adopts a more practical perspective. Specifically, I am examining how the goals and missions of transitional justice have evolved in Taiwan following the dissolution of the Transitional Justice Commission.
Looking ahead, I plan to continue researching topics related to transitional justice, human rights, and democratic theory. I hope to pursue a Ph.D. abroad to deepen my understanding and contribute further to these fields.
Copper Stone
I am a senior in college, who is majoring in Political Science and minoring in East Asian Studies. I attend Illinois State University, and I have taken several classes about the cultural and political state of East Asia. I am eager to learn more, about Taiwan and eager to learn more about the research process.
Natsumi Shibuya
I am currently a master’s student in Political Science at Waseda University in Japan. My research interests have primarily focused on preventing civil war recurrence and post-conflict democratization. In particular, I am interested in how peace agreements that include power-sharing arrangements, as well as DDR (Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration) programs, affect the peace process. At the same time, through studying these topics, I have also developed a strong interest in cases of democratization that followed a different trajectory—specifically, those that experienced an apparently smooth and peaceful transition to democracy. The Taiwanese experience is one such case, and I consider it a highly valuable reference point. I am especially interested in understanding how ordinary citizens engaged in the democratization process and what impact their activities had on the outcome. I look forward to deepening my understanding of Taiwan by exchanging ideas and insights with fellow researchers and students who are also interested in related topics. I am also excited about my upcoming trip to the United States, as it will be my first time visiting the country.
