Democratic Reforms in Taiwan: Issues for Congress.
Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research
Service, May 26, 2010, 16 pages.
"Taiwan, which its government formally
calls the Republic of China (ROC), is a success story for U.S.
interests in the promotion of universal freedoms and democracy.
Taiwan's people and their leaders transformed politics from rule
imposed from the outside with authoritarian abuses to the
relatively peaceful achievement of self-government, human
rights, and democracy. The purpose of this CRS report is to
succinctly discuss Taiwan's transformation and current concerns,
paying particular attention to the role of Congress and
implications and options for U.S. policy."

"Agents of Taiwan-China Unification?: The Political Roles of
Taiwanese Business People in the Process of Cross-Strait
Integration."
Asian Survey, March/April 2010, pp. 287-310.
"The political roles of Taiwanese business people (taishang) in
cross-strait relations have been increasingly noteworthy under
Hu Jintao's policy of 'counting on the Taiwanese people.' But
contrary to widely accepted allegations, this paper argues that
attempts by China to use Taiwanese business people as a means to
gain political leverage over Taiwan will probably not pan out as
a successful strategy." (From Asian Survey)

Pew Research Center, May 23, 2010, 3 pages
"Technology makes it increasingly possible for the actions of
citizens to influence a story's total impact. What types of
news stories do consumers share and discuss the most? What
issues do they have less interest in? What is the interplay of
the various new media platforms? And how do their agendas
compare with that of the mainstream press? A review of a year's
worth of data sheds light on these questions." (From Pew

State's Otero on Global Corporate Responsibility.
(Under secretary speaks at Global Business School Network
conference)
America.gov, June 15, 2010, 5 pages.
"In the business world, I think smart power would translate as
social business. It's a shift in thinking - from one bottom line
to two or three. It's the acknowledgement that, while we're
making a profit, we can also foster economic empowerment, clean
up the environment, or build better community infrastructure.
Secretary Clinton described it as a 'new mindset for a new
century. Time to retire old debates and replace dogmatic
attitudes with clear reasoning and common sense.'" (From
