在地緣政治典範轉變下，面對極權國家在全球政經及軍事外交等全方面的挑戰，台灣不能再宣稱自己只是追隨者與執行者，而要承擔起更多國際責任，有意識的自我提升為「印太民主供應鏈」與「數位團結」的一員，善用過去所累積的生產力、資本與科技實力，以數位科技串聯所有矩陣創新及系統整合服務與產品，掌握更多主動性，打造以數位影響力為核心的經濟日不落國！ 本書縱觀歷史發展，主張以產業生態理論為基礎，透過「政治經濟」與「科學技術」這兩大驅動人類社會發展及國家競爭的主軸，分析現階段台灣在全球地緣政治與經濟發展中的定位，並結合理論與實務，展望台灣未來的發展道路，提出「以大帶小」、「跨域整合」的新雁行聯合艦隊模式（new flying geese pattern of the combined fleet）。 聯合艦隊模式的發展戰略思維大致有三：首先，跨領域產業的下游領導企業，先針對目標市場進行客製化產品與服務的「系統化組合」，也就是從單一產品貿易，轉變為系統產品與服務整合輸出的新投資與貿易模式。舉凡醫材或交通工程結合資通訊服務等，皆為本書歸納的重點案例。其次，槓桿台灣為數眾多的中堅企業與中小企業，借重它們過去以關鍵零組件及有別於下游產業的次系統服務之豐富經驗，實現跨領域產業的加速整合。第三，重視政府在經濟外交的關鍵角色，考量外交戰略與經濟比較利益，透過私部門與公部門因地制宜的合作模式，打造海外生產群聚或具體科技產業園區，建立聯合艦隊在空間上的「穩定生態系統」，並強化數位與低碳雙重轉型過程中所累積的跨領域人力資本，以數位賦能及友岸外包等新思維，讓友邦及理念相近國家在智慧交通、智慧醫療等跨領域的產業能耐得以提升，同時增進台灣經濟轉型的貿易創造效果，深化與台灣內部五大信賴產業之產業聯結。 聯合艦隊的成功，不僅將帶動台灣產業的升級與轉型，也會透過創造在地投資、就業與創業的供應鏈模式及商業模式，與民主陣營的人民及政府建立更廣泛且深層的戰略合作關係，進而落實「印太民主供應鏈」與「數位團結」戰略，開創台灣經濟外交的新局面，讓台灣成為印太區域對抗威權擴張的民主燈塔。 地緣政治典範轉移，全球進入AI時代，本書錨定半導體、電動車、無人機、智慧醫療與智慧城市，倡議以大帶小、跨域整合五大信賴產業，打造兼具經濟與外交效益的高科技產業聯合艦隊！

Fills a gap in Korean Wave studies by studying it through the lens of gender. Women We Love is an edited collection exploring femininities in and around the Korean Wave since 2000. While studies on the Korean Wave are abundant, there is a dearth of analysis about the female-identifying stars, characters, and fans who shape and lead this crucial cultural movement. Using "women" as an inclusive term extending to all those who self-define as women, this collection of essays examines the role of women in K-pop and K-drama industries and fandom spaces, encompassing crucial intersectional topics such as queering of gender, dissemination of media, and fan culture.
