Taipei’s soft power at work: The picture of Taiwan in Polish dailies Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita

title: Taipei’s soft power at work: The picture of Taiwan in Polish dailies Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita abstract: Taiwan’s external relations are ‘exceptional.’ Due to the island’s contested international status and limited recognition, public diplomacy often provides Taipei with the only channel to conduct external affairs through the soft power resources it enables. Therefore, in order to assess the island’s foreign policies, it is crucial to understand its soft power capacity. This chapter analyses the challenges to the exercise of Taiwan’s soft power as well as its effects in selected Polish dailies. First, it looks for themes that may enable and disable Taiwan’s soft power in the scholarly literature and documents released by Taipei’s governmental actors. Second, it examines whether these themes pertaining to the island were present in two Polish dailies – “Gazeta Wyborcza” and “Rzeczpospolita” – during a one-year period from November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2017. The newspaper analysis aims to reveal narratives that are alternative to those promoted publicly and that are related to the image of Taiwan, other significant international actors, and Taiwanese governmental as well as non-state executors of public policy, all of which may contribute to an enabling or disabling environment for Taipei’s soft power. It applies techniques and methods from media research and discourse analysis.

The Social Construction of the Realm of the Discipline: Polish Sinology

title: The Social Construction of the Realm of the Discipline: Polish Sinology abstract: This work enters into the long-standing debate on the meaning of "sinology". It takes as a springboard theoretical assumptions regarding the term's floating meaning, which, due to the shifting nature of disciplinary boundaries in which all knowledge is relative, can never be fixed. It looks at the University of Warsaw's (UW) Sinology Department and asks what Polish academia counts as discipline-specific knowledge. In order to answer this question, it analyses the rhetorical work involved in defining and defending the discipline in selected works by and interviews with Polish scholars who study China. It comments on the phenomenon of creating disciplinary labels, the role of external pressures on knowledge production, and the ways in which the UW Sinology Department's faculty mediates and assimilates those pressure.

Sinology in Poland: Epistemological Debates and Academic Practice

title: Sinology in Poland: Epistemological Debates and Academic Practice abstract: This study looks at how an understanding of sinology as a discipline evolved among Polish specialists on China against the background of the epistemological debates on the study of China in the Western world. Based on interviews and focusing on two periods in the history of postwar Polish sinology – the 1950s-1960s and then the 1990s and thereafter – it provides insights into the discourses among academics. The findings from an analysis of the interviews demonstrate that the epistemological divide on the study of China in Western intellectual spheres has been particularly marked in academic circles in Poland. This is evident in the debates among Polish scholars who struggle both to establish the meaning of sinology and, at the same time, to determine the future of their profession. Whereas this divide has greatly influenced the program of sinological training at the University of Warsaw, it has not had an influence in Poznań and Łódź, the two other centers of sinology in Poland.

Taiwan’s democratization and the European Union’s relations with China and Taiwan – the arms embargo debate between 2003 and 2005

title: Taiwan’s democratization and the European Union’s relations with China and Taiwan – the arms embargo debate between 2003 and 2005 abstract: The Taiwanese transition from a single party rule of Kuomintang (KMT) to a democracy with a multiparty system and elected president has an impact not only on the cross-Strait relations and regional security, but also on the island's global actorness. While the Taiwanese democratisation had been widely examined in the context of the relations within the triangle among Taiwan, China, and the United States, this study draws attention to the link (or its lack) between the political developments in Taiwan and China on the one hand, and the European Union (EU) policies towards the both Asian partners on the other.
