DESCRIPTION:The 1952 Peace Treaty between Republic of China and Japan has 
 recently received a lot of attention especially in Taiwan where some\, inc
 luding President Ma Ying-jeo\, have argued that it handed sovereignty over
  Taiwan and Penghu to the Republic of China and that therefore the status 
 of these two islands is settled. In this presentation\, Professor van de V
 en examines the negotiations in Taipei that led up to the Treaty\, discuss
 ions that culminated in the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty between Japan 
 and the Allies which laid the basis for the Taipei Treaty\, as well as the
  Cairo Conference where the future shape of East Asia was first discussed 
 by the Allies.He will argue that the Taipei Treaty\, despite its many flaw
 s\, created a useful ambiguity that helped stabilize East Asia in the imme
 diate post-war period but also helped create the fragmented modernities of
  Asia which still produce much diplomatic havoc.
