Hickey suggests that, on balance, the end of the Cold War and a conjunction of several long-term trends are combining to enhance Taiwan's security. He cautions, however, that domestic political developments within the People's Republic of China may offset some of the gains generated by systemic changes. These domestic considerations played a paramount role in the perilous deterioration of cross-Strait relations during 1995 and 1996.
