In this lecture, Dr. Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College, London, will reveal how the island's shifting fortunes have been shaped by centuries of conquest and by a cast of dynamic characters. Using the backdrop of Cold War intrigue and the rise of its neighbor as a global power, this lecture will examine how this tiny island, caught between the agendas of two superpowers, is attempting to find its place in a rapidly changing world order.
