摘要:Parliamentarians across the European Union (EU) member states increasingly adopt the identity of EU representatives and promote common interests, including the status quo between China and Taiwan. Thrived after the pandemic, this paper inspects European parliamentary Diplomacy (PD) towards Taiwan, a democratic “like-minded” country, and its impact. How could PD strengthen the profile and Europeanisation of the member states’ Taiwan policy to substantiate a common EU one-China policy? I assume that, to shape the EU’s foreign affairs, the parliamentarization of the EU’s foreign policy needs horizontal coordination at the parliamentary level and vertical coordination with the leadership level through its signalling, lobbying, and multiplying mediation functions. This research, using open data on European-Taiwanese interactions, finds that Europeanisation occurs at the horizontal parliamentary level, the first-dimensional mechanism, while at the vertical axis, PD multiplies and mediates the EU’s normative role strengthening its profile in cross-strait relations and contributes to bilateral agreements.
