Taiwan’s Baseball Diplomacy: ISDP Issue Brief quoted in an analysis in The Diplomat
July 2026: The Issue Brief “The Political Gambit in Sports: Taiwan’s Struggles and Opportunities”, written by Yi-Chieh Chen, Research Fellow and Project Manager at the Stockholm Taiwan Center, was quoted in an analysis on “Playing for a Place in the World Through Taiwan’s Baseball Diplomacy” published in The Diplomat.
“A 2024 Institute for Security and Development Policy brief noted that similar pressure continues because China holds considerable influence in many of the organizations that decide who may host and participate in international events. Results on the field do not remove that pressure, but they do give Taiwan a larger audience.”
