The project aims at expanding the knowledge of international scholars about Taiwan.
Dr. Dishan Kamdar, Vice-Chancellor of FLAME University welcomed the participants and panelists at the roundtable and stated, “I am delighted to announce that FLAME University is the only university in India hosting the Taiwanese Studies project along with other prestigious global educational institutions. The process of getting to know about a different country, their values, their systems, etc. can be a good learning experience and I am sure that it would be beneficial for both scholars and students.”
H.E. Amb. Baushuan Ger, Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center praised FLAME University for providing liberal education and also congratulated the University for this initiative and hoped that more academic links between the two democracies would happen. He also spoke about the possible actions that can be taken in the future to strengthen bilateral ties.
The research focus of the Taiwan Studies Project at FLAME, according to Dr. Roger Liu, the Principal Investigator of the Project, is to conduct a comparative study on democratic governance and its practice in India and Taiwan, both of which are democracies but with different political, economic, historical and geographical backgrounds. By comparing the democratic governance practices in areas such as environmental governance, public health, women’s rights, and foreign policy practice, the Project aims to create dialogues and conversations among the Indian, Taiwanese, and international academic communities to produce high-quality research in comparative perspectives.
During the roundtable organized by Dr. Roger Liu, Associate Professor, Department of Social Sciences, FLAME University and chaired by Ms. Manjeet Kripalani, Executive Director, Gateway House, scholars and experts discussed political, educational and technological development and its lessons for India-Taiwan relations.
