英文摘要 |
This article analyzes the history of the Institute of International Relations (IIR), a Kuomintang think tank, from the perspective of the personal contributions of its key staff before its formal establishment in 1975 as part of National Chengchi University. The IIR was constructed from existing intelligence units to deal with a national crisis. In addition to intelligence collection and studying the enemy's economy and politics, the organization developed propaganda functions and assembled scholars. Problems with its construction emerged when the national crisis eased. |
