Given special international status and China factor, Taiwan always is outside of this FTA trend and faces crisis of marginalization. Generally speaking, both of Taiwan and Japan can be improved mutually based on economic complementarity if they would ratify FTA. This thesis aims to evaluate possibility of Japan-Taiwan FTA in the viewpoint of development of bilateral economy and trade and strategic planning. First, it reviews the economy context of Japan and Taiwan after World War II for clarifying their mutual economic relations. Second, it analyzes strategic planning of Japan and Taiwan, including phases of bilateral economic relations and their strategic competition and cooperation. Finally, it evaluates the possibility of Japan-Taiwan FTA by comprehensive discussion of relative theories. It concludes that, although they have made several accomplishments of trade cooperation, but haven’t removed obstacles of ratifying FTA. Only by much more positive measures could Japan and Taiwan overcome all of these.
