This thesis tries to argue the important influence of culture and identity in national security studies, especially about Taiwan¡¦s security. In my viewpoint, culture and identity have become two powerful elements in security studies. In the Post-Cold War era, material factors are no longer the only base of national security. At the same time, the culture clash has become another potential factor that influences the national and international security. The 911 event offers the ...
