Cross-Strait Confidence Building Measures
|
This project seeks to promote understanding and eventual implementation of confidence building measures (CBMs) between Taiwan and mainland China. In a climate of increased cross-strait political and military tension, CBMs are needed to reduce the dangers of accidental conflict, establish patterns of cooperation, and lay the groundwork for building greater trust. The goal of the project is to bring the two sides of the Taiwan Strait closer to establishing a road map for implementing traditional and non-traditional CBMs.
In November 2006, CSIS led a three-day Workshop on Confidence Building Measures in Taipei. The workshop was attended by representatives from a range of Taiwan government agencies, and included presentations from American and Canadian specialists with functional or regional expertise in arms control and confidence building.
In April 2008, CSIS led a delegation of experts to Taipei and Beijing to hold meetings with experts and officials on potential CBMs in a variety of areas including military, human security, and environmental spheres. The final report, "Promoting Confidence Building across the Taiwan Strait," was authored by CSIS senior associate Bonnie Glaser and Pacific Forum CSIS executive director Brad Glosserman, and was released at a September 16, 2008 event at CSIS. Ms. Glaser leads the project.
