These policies will be analyzed in the context of Taiwan's social and political history, current debates about identity, language rights and resources, and concerns about Taiwan's status in the international community. Taiwan's unique situation illustrates the complex relationship between language, ethnicity, national identification, and economic and global concerns. The Taiwan case also demonstrates the power, as well as the limitations, of government sponsored language planning.
