ABSTRACT:
There are two competing approaches to how to deal with Mainland China. The ruling KMT favors engaging China, while the opposition DPP countering China. Taiwan is scheduled to have a presidential election in January 2016.Current polls show that the DPP candidate Tsai Ying-wen is leading in a big way. Given the change of KMT candidate to Eric Chu and upcoming Ma-Xi summit in Singapore this month, the presidential election seems to be more unpredictable.

5. 5. 2026 Author: Oldřich Bureš
In April 2026, the Center for Security Studies and the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague hosted thought-provoking lectures examining the evolving landscape of violent extremism. Delivered by Sean McCafferty and Adam Hanzel, both Marie Skłodowska-Curie GLOCTER Project PhD fellows, the sessions explored how terrorist actors exploit the digital environment and how new, harder-to-define forms of extremism are reshaping traditional security frameworks. Together, the lectures offered students a comprehensive look at both the online dynamics of contemporary terrorism and the emerging challenges posed by accelerationist and nihilistic violent extremist movements.
