Abstract
A Study of Taiwanese International Cooperation on Environmental Issues—A Primary Reflection on A Case of Sumatra, Indonesia
Abstract
The sustainable development has become the core belief in terms of environmental affairs worldwide for decades and has been consciously accepted in many international organizations. Transnational environmental projects are often carried out by the western countries which have strong dominance over the under-developed countries in aspects such as politics, economy, technology and culture as well. This is the recurrence of imperialism and colonialism which results in the injustice suffered by the people and environment living in especially the southern hemisphere.
Taiwan has become a successful economy, ranking 18th largest in the world, and yet the growth of economy is a consequence of the consumption of the natural resources from many under-developed countries—one of which is Indonesia.
The environmental project in Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia led by professionals from Taiwan was a pioneering one. It was a reflection over the Taiwanese-Indonesian ties of global environmental cares and then brought about realistic actions. Besides the application of technical approaches for the site, this thesis focuses also on the observations into the way how it could be possible, how it was launched without any aids from the government and therefore discovered that the co-operational relationships for trilateral parties—the local environmental organization, the Bodhicitta Foundation, the local government and the Taiwanese professional group--have to stand solid to realize the ideals.
The case was related to the history of Bodhicitta Foundation in terms of its former cooperation with voluntary NGOs and individuals after the Tsunani afflicted Aceh, Sumatra in 2005. The ethnic Chinese based organization, Bodhicitta Foundation, has multiplied assistance from Taiwan, making its ambition of a social transformation possible in the very early stage in which education and environmental cares were the two main parts of it.
