Taiwan at the Core: Strategic Partner in Global Semiconductor Landscape and Realignment offers a clear, authoritative, and timely guide to understanding how semiconductors have become the strategic backbone of the modern global economy—and why Taiwan sits at its very center. As chips power everything from artificial intelligence and advanced computing to electric vehicles and defense systems, this book explains how Taiwan’s dominance—commanding over 78% of the global foundry market—has made the island an indispensable anchor of the world’s digital infrastructure.

Written from a policy-oriented and global perspective, the book examines the ongoing “semiconductor strategic realignment,” unpacking Taiwan’s core position in the global semiconductor ecosystem; the revitalization efforts of United States, Japan and Europe; China’s aggressive expansion in mature-node manufacturing amidst advanced-node constraints; South Korea’s pivotal dominance in AI-driven High Bandwidth Memory (HBM); and the emerging roles of economies such as Singapore and India are collectively reshaping the industry. Readers will gain a coherent understanding of the global semiconductor supply chain, the forces driving its reconfiguration, and the geopolitical and economic implications that will define the next decade of technological competition.

Beyond analysis, Taiwan at the Core positions Taiwan as a critical strategic partner for governments and enterprises alike. With its unparalleled AI ecosystem, world-class talent base, and robust intellectual property protection, Taiwan offers a uniquely trusted environment for advanced R&D and regional operations. Crucially, the book underscores a central message: global supply chain resilience and shared prosperity in the Angstrom Era are inseparable from peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait—making Taiwan not only a technological leader, but a cornerstone of the future global order.

【新書簡介】

《臺灣居於核心：全球半導體版圖與戰略重組中的關鍵夥伴》提供一套清晰、權威且切合時勢的分析框架，說明半導體如何成為當代全球經濟的戰略支柱，以及臺灣為何居於其核心位置。從人工智慧與先進運算，到電動車與國防系統，晶片已成為各關鍵產業的基礎。本書指出，臺灣掌握逾全球晶圓代工市場78%的市占率，使其成為全球數位基礎建設中不可或缺的關鍵支點。

本書以政策導向與全球視角出發，深入剖析當前正在進行的「半導體戰略重組」，包括臺灣在全球半導體生態系中的核心地位、美國、日本與歐洲的產業振興布局、中國在先進製程受限下加速成熟製程擴張、南韓在AI驅動的高頻寬記憶體（HBM）領域的關鍵優勢，以及新加坡與印度等新興經濟體日益重要的角色。透過這些分析，讀者得以全面理解全球半導體供應鏈的結構、其重組動能，以及將形塑未來十年科技競爭格局的地緣政治與經濟意涵。

不僅止於分析，《臺灣居於核心》亦將臺灣定位為各國政府與企業不可或缺的戰略夥伴。憑藉完整的AI生態系、世界級的人才基礎，以及健全的智慧財產權保護制度，臺灣提供一個高度可信賴的先進研發與區域營運環境。更重要的是，本書強調一項核心訊息：在「埃米世代」（Angstrom Era），全球供應鏈韌性與共享繁榮，與臺海和平與穩定密不可分——這使臺灣不僅是科技領導者，更是未來全球秩序的重要基石。
