5. How relevant is the ‘1992 Consensus’ as the basis for future developments in cross-Strait relations?
a. How does the evolving Taiwanese identity affect the continued relevance of the ‘1992 Consensus?’
6. Do you agree that there seems to be a diverging trend in cross-Strait relations, where there is increasing economic integration and interdependence all the while political fragmentation remains persistent?
7. Looking ahead, how might a DPP-or a KMT-government strike deals with Beijing without upsetting their domestic constituencies?
8. What are some of the emerging results – benefits and costs – of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA)?
9. Is the government ensuring that the agreement's benefits are more widely diffused to a broader spectrum of Taiwanese society (eg small and medium enterprises, labour unions, manufacturing and agriculture)?
a. If so, how and if not, why not?
10. Have disadvantaged domestic constituents complicated the cross-Strait negotiation process?
11. What role might the United States play in the evolving situation in cross-Strait relations?
