Abstract
The issue of Taiwan’s participation in the international space is mainly reflected in three aspects: “Under What Name”, “Under Which Status” and “To What Extent” Taiwan should participate in international space. The resolution of Taiwan’s participation in the international space can eventually be summed up as the resolution of the three abovementioned questions. On the basis of reviewing international legal documents concerning the Taiwan region and the legal logic behind Taiwan’s orderly participation in the international space, this book proposes to establish a mechanism for Taiwan’s orderly participation in the international space: first, the cross-Strait principle, functional principle and institutional principle for the construction of a framework for peaceful development of cross-Strait relations should be taken as guiding principles; second, in the aspect of basic idea, the problem of Taiwan’s participation in the international space must be integrated with the alignment of cross-Strait political relations; third, the construction of a mechanism for the orderly participation of the Taiwan region in the international space should follow the rules of relevant international laws and adhere to the mode of participation through institutional negotiations; finally, in terms of the specific institutional design, it can be divided into a preparatory discussion mechanism or procedural negotiation mechanism and an official consultation mechanism or substantive consultation mechanism.
