Founded by Dr. Philip Yang at the end of 1997, Taiwan Security Research (TSR) is an academic and non-governmental website designed to aggregate and disseminate information on current events relating to Taiwan's security and regional security issues. The website compiles newspaper articles, op-ed pieces, official policy statements, academic papers and reports from English language sources posting them daily on TSR's website. The website is designed to provide an unbiased, reliable English-language source of up-to-date information relating to Taiwan's security situation.In addition to acting as an information service to the academic community, the major purpose of the TSR is to serve as a confidence-building measure (CBM) by providing timely, objective and balanced information to those concerned with the maintenance of peace and security across the Taiwan Straits and the Asia-Pacific region. It is the belief of the TSR team that the Taiwan security issue is not merely a question of regional security, but one of the most important foreign policy issues of this new century.
