During the early 17th century, the medical facilities within the VOC (Dutch East India Company) were relatively basic. Nevertheless, the extensive network of VOC shipping enabled the worldwide exchange of medicinal resources, providing a distinctive chance to augment the existing inventory of medical supplies in physicians’ chests. This article provides a broad examination of VOC archival sources to illuminate the individuals engaged in healthcare at Zeelandia Fort and City, with a particular emphasis on the use of the Physician’s chest. The VOC personnel not only made use of medicinal substances but also evaluated their efficacy, sourcing them from both local materials and the contents of the physician’s chest. The VOC archives provide evidence of extensive exchanges of medicinal materials along maritime routes, granting historians valuable insights into the utilization of Chinese and Indian medicinal practices. A comprehensive investigation into the merging of Euro-Asian medicinal traditions uncovers Zeelandia’s importance as a regional center for the amalgamation of medical customs and as an experimental ground for multicultural medical expertise.

After the retreat of the VOC from Formosa in the mid-17th century, European map-makers relied on either the obsolete Dutch sources or their contemporary French Jesuit geographical knowledge sent back from the Manchu Empire for their cartographical works of the island. As a result, the VOC toponymic legacies continued to survive on some cartographic works in the second half of the 19th century. In today’s Taiwan, the toponymic legacies of the VOC are still appropriated as a reminiscence of the local history of Taiwan in some cases of linguistic landscapes.

Tidal land reclamation in Taiwan began in the early 1930’s with the Japanese technicians learning from European countries, especially Germany and the Netherlands. In the 1960’s, a large-scale project for tidal land reclamation sponsored by the UN-aids in the western coast of Taiwan was conducted. During the period of experiment and design, an international team with several German and five Dutch experts came to Taiwan to teach local technicians how to reclaim tidal land into agricultural land. One of the most famous sites in that project was called Aogu polder. After nearly 30 years of construction and modification, Aogu polder has evolved as the combination of agricultural and wildlife habitats. Following another 20 years of social dispute and debate, a compromised solution has finally been reached to make the polder with the co-existence of ecological function as well as agricultural production. Almost at the same period of time, de Oostvaardersplassen in the South Flevoland Polder (Zuidelijk Flevoland) was reclaimed. Since then, both tidal reclaimed lands in Aogu and Oostvaardersplassen were facing great social and ecological conflicts. But both polders have also found a new way for sustainability and made proud of paradigm shift. In 2014, people just discovered the similarity of the landscape and fate between Aogu in Taiwan and Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands. This beautiful coincidence may be rooted by the Dutch experts in the 1960’s since the very beginning of polder construction.

國立臺灣師範大學地理系博士候選人。荷蘭的烏特勒支大學地球科學碩士。臺灣的國立臺灣師範大學環境地理學博士。研究聚焦在，以生態系統為基礎的方法，收集沿海地區可持續管理策略的數據。目前國立臺灣師範大學地理系擔任博士後研究員，研究如何透過自然為基礎的解決方案等，可持續的方法，提高臺灣沿海地區的抵抗力。研究專長：自然基礎解決方案、海岸管理、氣候變化復原力和適應性、環境地質學。

Taiwan and the Netherlands share a deep connection to the sea, as both countries rely on the sea for natural resources and have a long history of protecting their densely populated coastlines against the forces of the sea. Today they are both facing similar challenges, but their different coastal philosophies resulted in diverse management strategies and varying attitudes towards the coastal environment. Yet, while Dutch people often choose to actively explore coastal environments for recreational purposes, Taiwanese individuals tend to be more reserved when it comes to engaging in coastal and marine activities.

In this paper, I will outline strategies to work towards a more sustainable future for marine environments, where future generations can continue to explore and learn from the ocean, deepen their connection to the coastal landscape, and benefit from its resources. A new local Geopark, the Caota Sand Dunes (觀音草漯沙丘), which conserves the most extensive dune system in Taiwan, is well suited to implement natural approaches since coastal dunes act as a barrier to coastal hazards. The geopark actively promotes the local environment and function of coastal dunes, recognizing their ecological value and their protective role in the face of climate change. A current study is investigating the value of these dunes for Ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction. As a key part of the study, coastal management strategies in the Dutch dune landscape are evaluated to explore implications for best fit practices in Taiwan’s coastal management. Additionally, a dune vulnerability assessment and assessment of local community involvement in geopark management and risk reduction strategies, are core objectives for this research. This study aims to identify factors that need to be addressed for an optimal functioning of the ecosystem, while the area is being managed and conserved as a geopark, through field research, focus groups and comparison studies on best practices. This paper discusses some of the challenges Taiwan and the Netherlands are facing and highlights the changing perspectives in coastal management, to support more sustainable practices.

荷蘭恩荷芬理工大學 （Eindhoven University of Technology）助理教授。博士在鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大學（Erasmus University Rotterdam）商業史中心取得博士學位，現為恩荷芬理工大學的科技創新與社會研究小組（Technology Innovation and Society group）助理教授。她在多個期刊上發表了關於創新歷史、知識基礎設施以及知識傳播的文章，包括《Business History》、《Journal of Modern European History》、《History of Technology》以及《Technology Analysis and Strategic Management（TASM）》。Davids曾擔任《20世紀荷蘭技術史》七卷之一的《工業生產》卷(Industrial production, in the 7-volume History of Technology in the Netherlands in the 20th century)的編輯，並是《20世紀荷蘭企業中的國家知識基礎設施與創新共同演進》(The co-evolution of the national knowledge infrastructure and innovations in Dutch business in the 20th century)一書的作者，該書屬於《20世紀荷蘭企業史》系列(Business in the Netherlands in the 20th century)。她目前的研究興趣聚焦在荷蘭和臺灣機構之間的合作和國際知識轉移，以及它對技術、社會和可持續發展轉型的重要性。她發起了一個合作研究計畫，「歷史透視下的荷蘭-臺灣聯繫：合作、互動學習和知識流通」(The Taiwanese-Dutch connections in historical perspective: cooperation, interactive learning, and circulation of knowledge)。

Although small and often invisible, chips are essential in our current society. Semiconductors are critical components for your computer and smartphone, even your toaster, car, electric bicycle, and heating system. It is not for nothing the IC industry is considered the new oil industry. A significant characteristic of the semiconductor industry is its complexity and interdependence of the various stakeholders in the chain, which only grew over time. The importance of cooperation and coordination between the players in the semiconductor industry has, therefore, only grown over time. From its early days, the industry has, with Moore’s law as an important driving force, focused on miniaturization and increasing chip power and energy efficiency. Since the beginning of the 21st century, industry has begun to pay attention to its environmental sustainability. It became increasingly clear that collaboration in research, development, and manufacturing processes along the production chain became even more essential.

This paper outlines these developments and shows what this meant for key Taiwanese and Dutch players. Think of companies like TSMC, ASML, and Philips Semiconductors (now NXP), as well as research institutes like ITRI and imec and universities like Eindhoven University of Technology, National Chiao Tung and National Tsing University. We illustrate how the collaboration between important Taiwanese and Dutch actors changed over time, from a more internal, business-to-business approach to a more open exchange between various stakeholders in the sector, while the focus broadened to include environmental sustainability issues. The cooperation, knowledge exchange, and learning between Taiwanese and Dutch experts started in the 1980s with Philips and TSMC/ITRI. Nowadays, research consortia, like imec – headquartered in Leuven (Belgium) but with research sites in, amongst others, the Netherlands and Taiwan – bring together different players from the global semiconductor supply chain. We outline this development against the growing role of ‘smart solutions’ in today’s society, the increased centralization in the industry, and the changing relationships between the semiconductor industry, academia, and government.

This review of historical materials dealing with major events and issues shaping Taiwan-India relations from the accidental death of an Indian leader in exile on Taiwan in the last month of the Pacific War through the 1990s, when official representations were finally established aims to draw the attention of historians and researchers to the barely used or still relatively unknown government documents and personal papers held in archives of government and academic institutes in Taiwan and abroad. Two significant but largely ignored episodes should be singled out. As it has been argued that it is in India’s interest that Taiwan maintains to be a distinct entity, India was surprisingly eagerly engaged in peace negotiations during the 1950s Taiwan Strait Crises; on the other hand, with the deepening rift between India and the PRC since the end of the 1950s, the Kuomintang government on Taiwan, long having no diplomatic relations with India, considered taking advantage of the situation while observing that Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who had been in power for many years, suffered serious criticism of his policy towards China. This paper aims to shed new light on untold international settings and political implications that have shaped the history of Cold War and early post-Cold War era in Asia.

Most published works on China in the Pacific typically also focus on Taiwan, creating the perception that Taiwan’s presence in and interactions with the Pacific are already well understood. However, many of these works center on the geopolitical place of Taiwan in the Pacific and its tension with China over diplomatic recognition. This paper looks at Taiwan from an alternative lens, highlighting another way Taiwan has been historically entangled in the Pacific aside from its geopolitical competition with China: fisheries. In this article, I first provide a broad overview of Taiwan’s entanglement in the economic history of both legal and illegal fisheries in the Pacific from the 1940s to the 1980s and how this reflects longstanding cultural ties between Taiwan and the Pacific. I then examine two case studies of these entanglements: Taiwan’s illegal fishing in Tuvalu and Australia and Taiwan’s legal fishing operations in American Samoa. In both the broad overview and the case studies I present, I attend to the complex relationships between government, private enterprise, and individual people in fisheries-related engagements that often led to unpredictable outcomes divorced from simple government-level or diplomatic sentiment. I also focus on ideas of the various Taiwanese communities mediating Taiwanese fisheries during this period, including Overseas Taiwanese Associations and diaspora communities in places like Australia, the Solomon Islands, and Samoa. In the conclusion, I discuss how we can examine Taiwan’s history as both part of and other to the Pacific region from trans-local, transnational, and cultural perspectives and what this means for our understanding of the Asia and Pacific regions and how they can be reshaped.

A June 1945 Office of Strategic Services (OSS) report, “Aliens in Japan,” attempted to estimate the number of non-Japanese residents in Japan that an occupation force would encounter once its war with Japan was completed to predict what possible problems this force might encounter upon arrival, and to provide suggestions for dealing with these problems. Given the size of the Korean population, the majority of the report devoted time discussing the issues in this context for two reasons: 1) Koreans assumed a large majority (95%) of all foreigners in Japan, and 2) these people would not be directly represented among the four allied states (U.S. U.K., the Soviet Union, and nationalist China). The position of Japan-based Taiwanese, whose numbers were much smaller and were represented by the nationalist Chinese whose jurisdiction they would be returned, generated less attention. Despite these differences, both peoples assumed similar concerns: Were the peoples to be considered a “liberated” or “enemy” people? Were there war criminals among them? Would they all want to repatriate to their ethnic homelands, or would a percentage of them wish to remain in Japan? If the latter, how would these people be classified? And, perhaps most importantly, would the Japanese seek to scapegoat these peoples for their defeat, or would the Taiwanese/Korean population seek revenge on their now former colonial subjugators? Should the occupation forces make efforts to separate them from the Japanese upon arrival? The report’s purpose aimed to raise possible issues rather than to provide definite answers. The purpose of this paper is to consider how occupation forces dealt with these and other problems by examining documents left from this era to compare the experiences of Koreans and Taiwanese residents in Japan in the immediate postwar.

Historical memories represent the past but at the same time, define the present. How people commemorate their history, especially history of glory and suffering such as the history of wars, defines and is defined by their identity. In modern societies, “national” or “nationalistic” narratives often dominate, if not monopolize, history writing and commemoration of wars as they aim to produce and reinforce “national” identity through historical memories. This kind of national “frame of war” (Judith Butler 2009) not only suppresses the minority or dissenting voices when it comes to commemorating the past but also leads to internal conflict over historical memories. Ironically, the “nationalistic” memory of war, which resulted from international conflict in the past, often leads to international conflict at the present. But at times, minority or dissenting voices within each society manage to represent and commemorate the past in their own way and construct their own historical memories. This paper examines commemorations of the Second World War (WWII) as conducted by local governments and citizen’s groups at the local level in Taiwan, Japan, and Malaysia. It finds that a sense of “locality” or local identity has been emphasized in defining the “subject of commemoration” in the text and rituals in commemorations of WWII conducted at the local level. While local commemorations of WWII do not necessarily challenge the “nationalistic” memory of war, they do not reinforce or comply with the latter either. Thereby, this “locality” creates an alternative “frame of war” vis-à-vis the “nationalistic” one, and consequently creates a space to present minority or dissenting voices in historical memories. This paper argues that commemorations based on “locality” allow different “mnemonic communities” to co-exist and lead to a more diverse memory-scape of WWII. Furthermore, as local commemorations offer alternative historical memories beyond the monolithic (and often antagonistic) “nationalistic” memory of war, they offer a possibility for “agonistic memory” (Bull and Hansen 2016) and reconciliation within a society and across national boundaries.

Taiwan and South Korea share the experience of decades of authoritarian rule followed by transitions to democracy from the late twentieth century onwards. The political transition from authoritarianism to democracy requires a difficult deconstruction and reconstruction of collective memory. New democratic regimes and societies in both countries have had to decide how to confront the authoritarian past and how to integrate the authoritarian pasts into the collective memory. This is an extremely sensitive task since it involves considering the complicity of parts of the national community with the dictatorship. All authoritarian regimes leave some divisive memories in the nation since all dictatorships are built on the support of one part of the national community and its more or less active participation in the repression of the other part. New democratic governments and societies have to choose which national memories to discard so as to distance themselves from the previous dictatorship, which ones to keep so as to preserve a sense of continuity of the national community, and which ones to create so as to build new identity foundations of the young democracy. One area where such memory politics become visible is heritage sites and tourist attractions. South Korea and Taiwan have started to develop new forms of ‘dark’ or political tourism that focus on sites of former authoritarian repression and atrocities. Employing visual methods, narrative analysis and qualitative interviews, this paper examines and compares the strategies and approaches Taiwan and South Korea have adopted in the development of dark tourism sites related to their experience of democratization and human rights advancement and discusses some of the transnational connections that have been forged between both countries in this process of heritage re-construction.

Taiwan and the various contemporary nation-states of Southeast Asia shared a common past, namely all experienced imperialism and colonialism, some having a longer duration than others. By the last quarter of the 19th century, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, except Siam (Thailand), were under foreign domination, the former under Imperial Japan, the latter, under Western imperial powers, viz. Britain (Burma, Malaya, Sarawak, Brunei, North Borneo), France (Indochina), the Netherlands (Netherlands East Indies), Spain and the U.S. (the Philippines), and Portugal (Timor). Understandably, having different imperial masters resulted in possessing different experiences of colonialism. Colonial Taiwan and colonial Southeast Asia were incorporated into the economic system of the respective imperial powers, notably the world capitalist market. The onset of the Pacific War (1941-1945) witnessed the implementation of the long-held political doctrine Nanshin-ron (南進論, ‘Southern Expansion Doctrine’, or ‘Southern Road’) whereby Imperial Japan militarily expelled, and in turn, replaced the Western imperial powers over their respective colonial territories in Southeast Asia, again excluding Thailand. Wartime occupied Southeast Asia became a part of Imperial Japan’s Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. The present intention is to examine the various experiences of imperialism and colonialism that Taiwan and Southeast Asia had endured, an evaluation of the consequences of foreign domination, and to ascertain the long-term impact and remnants therein in the post-independence period. The said experiences were overall not all bad or all good either. Instead there were various shades and gradations of adverse and beneficial elements, impacts and effects. This study is not an apology for imperialism and/or colonialism. Instead it is an attempt to further understand this period of foreign rule in the historical development of Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Cognizance and acknowledgement of the past contribute to the greater and deeper appreciation of contemporary times and in turn, to foresee a better future.

Keywords: imperialism and colonialism; Taiwan; Imperial Japan; Southeast Asia; Nanshin-ron; Pacific War (1941-1945); Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere

During the Dutch colonial era, the Indonesian nationalists used the media to reach the Indonesian public to try to propagate a concept of a new Indonesian citizen and a new Indonesian. The Japanese era, with its own policies, also emphasized a new world and a new era. The colonial comparative perspective with Taiwan in Japanese projections of modernity will provide an interesting comparative Asian perspective based on the Japanese influence in Asia during World War II. Finally, the paper examines how these various ideas and views interacted in the media of both the Dutch and Japanese eras into the era of the post-war contemporary Indonesian Republic. The paper identifies how Indonesia, Japan and the Netherlands all evaluated this modernizing development from different points of view and how in the media the new Indonesian citizen was depicted based on their own ideas and policies. The movement fits within the Asian context, which involves Taiwan and the whole of the Japanese colonial world, especially during World War II. The paper shows how the Indonesian population and leadership were influenced by these various images and concepts propagated during the colonial era but steered by Indonesian thinkers and leaders and shows how individual nations shape their own paths and destinies.

Taiwanese food has been viewed as a part of Chinese food because the ancestors of the inhabitants are Han Chinese who migrated to Taiwan since the 17^th century. These Han migrants brought their foodways from mainly the Fujian and Guangdong Provinces, and another wave of migrants from the Chinese mainland moved to Taiwan after the Second World War, further shaping a condensed Chinese culinary map in Taiwan. By contrast, the food culture of the Aborigines, the indigenous people who belong to the Austronesian family, was often marginalized or ignored in the discourse of Taiwanese food culture. Employing “food culture field” as a new analytical concept, this article aims to re-examine the features of “Taiwanese food culture fields” as the contact zone of the East and Southeast Asian food culture fields. By contact zone, it does not only mean a geographical space but also a social field that asserts its presence through bodily experience and symbolic power. Tracing food cultures of the indigenous people, the Han Chinese, and the Japanese in different historical periods before the early 20^th century, this article explores how Taiwan serves as the contact zone and how different issues could be raised from this perspective.

Keywords: Taiwanese food, contact zone, food culture, foodways, Asian food

This paper aims to explore how concepts of Taiwan are discursively constructed in contemporary Taiwan popular culture under the influence of its significant others– the US, Japan, China and Korea. Fairclough’s CDA is borrowed as the research framework to investigate how the discourses of Taiwaneseness in contemporary Taiwan popular culture are discursively produced and consumed, (re-)written and (re-)presented between everyday life and non-everyday life (festivals), and also between texts, discourse practices and social practices.

Keywords: Taiwaneseness, popular culture, CDA, identity politics, structures of feeling

Tsung-Lun Alan Wan is an Assistant Professor of Linguistics at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. His research in sociolinguistics addresses issues like disability, migration, and political ideology, with a current focus on the raciolinguistics of Vietnamese spouse accents in Taiwan.

This study is motivated by the premise that the relatively similar stages of national development and shared linguistic resources and cultures between Singapore and Taiwan may foster unique dynamics within the context of transnational marriages. We focus on how co-ethnicity may contribute to the negotiation of intimacy in transnational marriages between Taiwanese and (Chinese) Singaporeans. A total of 43 Taiwanese women who married Singaporean men were interviewed between 2022 and 2024. Adopting the “regime of language” framework, we analyze the narratives of these interviewees to see how Taiwanese female spouses in Singapore navigate the demands of the migration regime, predominantly manifested through language adaptation. This process involves more than adjusting to linguistic proficiency or adopting English to assimilate with Singaporeans—it encompasses conforming to the prevailing language ideologies. Taiwanese wives face scrutiny regarding their language use and identity. First, influenced by the Singaporean government’s encouragement for married women to participate in the workforce, Taiwanese wives are faced with devaluation of their professional capabilities when their English proficiency does not meet local job market standards. In addition to the workplace, Taiwanese women encounter challenges with the English language in daily life. In Singapore’s linguistic regime, different languages are expected to be used in different contexts. This complex sociolinguistic landscape presents significant challenges for migrants in navigating everyday interactions. In the domestic sphere, narratives reveal that Taiwanese wives often confront family members who act as “agents” of the language regime. Husbands, in-laws, and even their own children may criticize their use of English, impacting their maternal roles. Our research contributes to the expanding body of literature on geopolitics, migration, and language use, where the commentary on language among migrants becomes a venue for negotiating social positioning within the host society by leveraging the mundane geopolitical relationships between their home and host countries. Through the case of Taiwanese wives in Singapore, we demonstrate how co-ethnicity and similar national development backgrounds do not necessarily foster intimate narratives among migrants. Instead, it is often the expectation of intimacy that leads to greater frustration and discrepancy from their expectations, thereby intensifying tensions between the host and migrant communities in their narratives.

There has been a growing sense of nostalgia for the Japanese colonial past (1895-1945) since the lifting of the martial law in Taiwan in 1987. Such feelings, which had long been suppressed by the KMT government under the marital law (1949-1987), were made known through stories shared by local Taiwanese who received Japanese education. As members of that generation have all nearly passed away, colonial nostalgia has been passed down to younger citizens who did not directly experience Japanese rule. For this generation, Taiwan’s colonial past is, to borrow a term from Foucault, a heterotopia. 

In this paper, I will examine the cycle of colonial nostalgia production and consumption as part of Taiwan popular culture for the past decade. Why does colonial nostalgia resonate and what does it say about Taiwan’s postcoloniality? I see colonial nostalgia circulated in popular culture not as backward-looking, but as future-oriented, a “daily plebiscite” and resistance to the cultural hegemony that threatens their existence as Taiwanese. In other words, the creative cultural industries and their participants can be seen as political entrepreneurs who are recoding what Taiwan is and protecting the sovereignty of the island through reconstructing national imagination. 

This paper will mainly focus on GJ Taiwan 聚珍台灣, a popular bookstore in Tainan, as a case study. I will analyze the products sold there, in-store and online, including photobooks, postcards, maps, board games, stationary, towels, and T-shirts to understand how Taiwan is reconnecting with Japan while distancing with China.

Exotic plants are defined as those that have been introduced inadvertently or deliberately by human beings. So the plants that migrated over the land bridge between what is now the mainland and the “island” of Formosa during the last ice age can be considered native, while those brought to Formosa since the Proto-Austronesian settlement are “exotic.” Proto-Austronesian settlers introduced plants at a rate of approximately one every three hundred years, while the rate of introduction has been accelerating since the Dutch colonized Taiwan in 1624. Plants during the Dutch era were introduced at a rate of about one per year, which can be compared with recent estimates of invasive plant species introduction at about ten per year. In addition to presenting quantitative data on the rate of exotic plant introduction since Proto-Austronesian settlement, this paper will suggest the “palimpsest” as a metaphor for Taiwan’s landscape over the years.

During the Dutch colonial period in Taiwan, Dutch missionary linguists had contact above all with varieties of two Formosan languages: Siraya and Favorlang. The aim of this paper is to make a comparative study of the texts that were written in each language which were the epistemic outcomes of collaboration between the missionary linguists and indigenous informants. I begin by analyzing which texts were written in each language and answering questions such as who wrote them, how they wrote them, what sources they used, how the texts circulated, and whether they were published. For Siraya, the principal texts are catechisms, a Dutch-Siraya Formulary, a Dutch-Siraya wordlist, the Utrecht Manuscript, and two Dutch-Siraya Gospels: St. Matthew and St. John. Two sets of texts were written for Favorlang. One set consists of prayers, doctrinal statements, and a short catechism, all in Dutch and Favorlang, and the other set comprises five sermons in Favorlang alone. The paper then analyzes how the Dutch missionary linguists working with each language attempted to overcome the gap between their own language and culture and those of the Formosans to write texts in Siraya and Favorlang. For example, whilst earlier texts in Siraya and all the Favorlang texts use Deos for God, later Siraya texts use Alid. The paper explores the reasons for these choices. Another example concerns ‘baptism.’ Whereas the Favorlang texts use a circumlocution meaning ‘to press down in water,’ the Siraya texts use a verb which means ‘to pour water on.’ I shall give further similar examples. The paper, therefore, offers a comparative study of approaches to overcoming the cultural and linguistic gap in Taiwan as well as illustrating how Dutch missionaries worked with Formosan informants to bridge this gap, in an early example of transnational collaboration.

In this presentation, I will delineate the rationale behind the production of this pedagogical animated film, elucidate the key participants involved, and provide insights into the production progress, encountered challenges, and their respective resolutions. The Ma-tau Incident (1629-1636) stands as a seminal series of conflicts in 17th-century Taiwan. In 1629, the indigenous inhabitants of the Ma-tau settlement, predominantly comprised of the Siraya and Taivoan tribes during the Dutch colonial period, decisively defeated 63 Dutch individuals affiliated with the Dutch East India Company. Subsequently, six years later, in 1635, the Dutch East India Company retaliated against the Siraya people by orchestrating a military assault on the Ma-tau settlement, coinciding with the anniversary of the initial attack. Faced with this aggressive response, the Ma-tau tribal community found themselves compelled to sign the “Mattau Accord” with the Dutch East India Company. The Mattau Incident exemplifies the intricate interplay between Taiwan’s indigenous population and European colonizers during the colonial era, characterized by entrenched conflicts and military engagements. These events have left indelible imprints on Taiwan’s historical trajectory and cultural landscape, constituting an indispensable facet of its historical inquiry.

From 1624 when they established themselves on the island till the 1660s when they were expelled, the Dutch East India Company (also known as the VOC) possessed a sustained presence in Taiwan as colonizers. The archives that they created offer fascinating and vital insight into all aspects of existence on the island rendering them an invaluable source for studying the history of Taiwan. Crippling challenges such as the difficulty of reading early modern Dutch handwriting and the inability to search the corpus other than through traditional methods have meant that these archives have not been exploited to their fullest potential in uncovering histories of Taiwan. The GLOBALISE project, through infrastructural innovation, pulls down these barriers by transforming access into the VOC archives. It revolutionizes research by making five million pages of VOC archives machine-readable. It additionally uses methods of semantic and historical contextualization to enable users to ask complex and precise questions about the archive. This paper will focus on the GLOBALISE project and describe its efforts in opening up the VOC archives. In light of the work undertaken thus far (the publication of historical datasets and the first versions of the machine-readable transcriptions of the archive), the paper will share the first results of the project. It will evaluate the potential impact that the project and its proposed infrastructural initiative can have on how the archives are accessed, searched and studied. It will also probe the possible limits and implications of the searchability that the project offers. Furthermore, the paper will also reflect on how the GLOBALISE project can transform the landscape of history writing pertaining to Taiwan and the bearing it can have in facilitating the writing of new histories of Taiwan’s encounter with the rest of the world.

The historical ties between the Netherlands and Taiwan trace back to the 17th century when the Dutch East India Company (VOC) established its presence in East Asia. During this period, the VOC seized control of the Penghu Islands (also known as the Pescadores) from the Ming Dynasty of China in 1622, albeit for a brief period, leaving behind a cultural legacy in Taiwan. In recent years, collaborative efforts in marine biology between the two nations have flourished. Commencing with a marine sponge taxonomy workshop at National Sun-Yet Sen University in 2007, this collaboration has yielded over 20 journal papers covering diverse topics such as Taiwanese marine sponge biodiversity, sponge-associated microbials and their functional roles, nutrient translocation between endo-symbiotic microbes and the sponge host, sponge natural products and their bio-active application, and the discovery of new sponge species from unique habitats. In 2023, six undergraduate students embarked on a scientific diving and marine ecology survey course in Taiwan, further solidifying the collaborative effort. This productive partnership in marine biology between the Netherlands and Taiwan is poised to continue, with anticipated growth in research projects, scholars, students, resources, funding, and collaborative endeavors.”

This comparative study delves into the evolution of social housing policies and their impact on urban development in the Netherlands and Taiwan. Despite contrasting historical contexts and housing ideologies, both nations face common challenges in providing affordable housing amidst rising property prices and shifting demographics. The Netherlands’ rich history of social housing provision contrasts with Taiwan’s traditional emphasis on homeownership. However, recent collaborations and policy exchanges between the two countries have sparked a transformative process, with Taiwan adopting elements of the Dutch model to address its housing crisis. This study employs the technique of ‘following the policy,’ wherein the role of international knowledge exchange in the conceptualisation and implementation of Taiwan’s housing policy was examined. Grassroots activism and personal connections are found to be of particular importance in this process. Lastly, this study examines the challenges and opportunities faced by the Netherlands and Taiwan in sustaining their social housing initiatives.
