This book presents a set of essays on the globalization and intra-urban dynamics of the Asian cities conducted by Taiwanese and French researchers. It covers four main themes: “culture-led regeneration projects,” “dynamics of second-tier cities,” “urban redevelopment and land issues,” and “new urban spaces of regulation, associational life, and civic action.”
It involved comparing research subject priorities in this field as well as the approaches chosen to deal with them within a geographical zone extended from Northeast to southern Asia. Rather than a comparison between Western and Asian visions of the same urban objects, the project aimed to highlight differences and/or similarities in the approaches of scientific communities, inevitably influenced by national issues.
With great articulation and discourse between urban reality and theories, it also observes distinctive approaches of urban research teams respectively in France and Taiwan.

Introduction: About the Book
This book is the fruit of a Franco-Taiwanese collaboration funded by Academia Sinica, le Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the National Science Council (NSC, or Ministry of Science and Technology), and National Taiwan University (NTU). It came about on the initiative of a team of geographers, sociologists, urban planners, anthropologists, and economists from Academia Sinica, National Chengchi University, National Taiwan University, together with members of laboratories jointly run by universities and two big French research centers, CNRS and l'Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD).
The aim of the collaboration was to cross-reference Taiwanese and French ideas on the intra-urban dynamics that have been set in motion by globalization in Asian cities. It involved comparing research subject priorities in this field as well as the approaches chosen to deal with them within a geographical zone expanding from Northeast to Southern Asia. Rather than a comparison between Western and Asian visions of the same urban objects, the project aimed to highlight differences and/or similarities in the approaches of scientific communities that are inevitably influenced by national issues.
It emerged that the differences between researches in the two countries largely determined the conditions of the survey, with Taiwanese researchers focusing on their own country and conversely, with fairly wide-ranging research in Asia on the part of the French. France has, in effect, several research centers in Asia, administered by various research bodies: the CNRS and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs manage six of them (Tokyo, Pondicherry, Delhi, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Taipei) and the IRD has four (Jakarta, Vientiane, Bangkok, and Hanoi), not counting the French School of the Far East (EFEO), which has sixteen but whose researchers do not usually work on contemporary subjects.3 These centers have been welcoming researchers from various institutions for several years now. All types of research profiles are represented. In the CNRS-MAEE centers, the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) dominates with researchers coming from big research bodies and universities, whilst in the IRD centers, the majority are IRD researchers from various environment-related scientific fields (HSS, biology, epidemiology, hydrology, climatology, etc). It is a system that enables French researchers to extend their knowledge of the field and the language of the country to which they have been posted for periods of two to four years.
The network includes a small French research structure in Taiwan, set up within the Academia Sinica, the Taiwanese branch of the Hong Kong-based CEFC (French Center for Studies on Contemporary China). Within these, a discipline that has come to be known as “Taiwanology” is being developed and is seeking to carve out a place for itself alongside the more powerful Sinology. Besides research in the humanities (mainly anthropology, linguistics, and literature), this discipline covers a vast field of social sciences. CEFC researchers as well as other Western observers interested in Taiwan have explored the mechanisms of the Taiwanese economic “miracle”; that is to say the characteristics of the industrial fabric (Amsden, 1991; Hoesel, 1999; Guiheux, 2002; Levy & Kuo, 1991; Aspalter, 2001, among others), the role of the state (Gold, 1986) and the intensification of trade with China (Sutter, 2002; Chevalerias, 1998). The concurrent evolution of the political system towards democracy has also attracted the attention of Western political scientists and anthropologists who have analyzed the transformations of the electoral and constitutional system (Rigger, 1999; Schneider, 2000, among others), the formation of cultural and political identity (Corcuff, 2002; Allio, 2001) as well as diplomatic relationships on both sides of the Strait (Cabestan, 2005; Mangin, 2000; Jacobs, 2009; Bellows, 1999).
