| Summary: | 博士 === 淡江大學 === 國際事務與戰略研究所博士班 === 103 === There are some countries in the modern world, those relations have been so ignored and contradicted and at the same time have a great potential for large-scale and mutually beneficial development, as relations between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Russian Federation.
The dissertation is dedicated to explore not only the characteristics of Taipei-Moscow cooperation, but examine the new, yet unexplored areas of the development of the process, which is the scope of the national interests of Taiwan and the role of the Island in Sino-Russian relations. Notably, that undeveloped, however with a great potential Russia-Taiwan economic relations forming a sphere, the relevance of the study of which due to new geopolitical reality is obvious.
A study of Moscow-Taipei relations is important to learn in order to fill the gap in knowledge about each other; for identifying strong and weak sides of interactions; and for finding out the overlapping areas of mutual interest that would help for further collaboration between two entities. Russia is not only share a common border with China, but also a strategic partner of Beijing, which is following the main aspect of the partnership – a “one-China” principle, which makes the study of Taiwan-Russian relations even more interesting, due to mandatory being learned from the lens of Sino-Russian relationships.
In order to explore the trilateral relations among players, the theory of strategic triangle of Lowell Dittmer has been used. Through detaching trilateral relations into bilateral, made the evaluation of trilateral game easier on one hand and from the other hand, more scrupulous. Besides, building the trilateral relations without focusing of developing bilateral bonds among triangle relations, almost impossible to create the stable triangular relations with any case scenario. It is worth to mention, that the relations of each player in a bilateral relations toward a third player is the definitely triangular unstable element in the issue, which could influence on the value or/and on the symmetry of the first relations.
What’s more, the author have realized that the theory of the strategic triangle of Lowell Dittmer could be developed into the so-called strategic quadrangle, through stimulating the function of a non-revitalize triangle within the quadrangle could serve Russia’s interests more effectively.
