ABOUT THE TAIWAN STUDIES WORKSHOP The Taiwan Studies Workshop is a long-running program of the John K. Fairbank Center at Harvard University. It is currently directed by Steven M. Goldstein, Sophia Smith Professor of Government at Smith College. The Workshop was founded to promote and publish new research on Taiwan's history, culture, society, law, politics, and economics. It brings together, on a monthly basis, scholars from eight universities, including faculty and graduate students, diplomats as well as politicians, historians, anthropologists, political scientists and economists. The Workshop is funded by a grant from the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation and is sponsored at Harvard by the Fairbank Center.   For comments and contributions, please contact Steven M.
