Preface
Over the past forty years, the development
of Taiwan's economy has made such great strides that it
has come to be described throughout the international
community as the 'Taiwanese Miracle', and through his
immense contribution to the process of Taiwan's economic
development, Dr. Kwoh-Ting Li has played a key role in
realizing this 'miracle'. In order to present their founder's
contribution to Taiwan's economic development, in conjunction
with informing others of Taiwan's economic modernization
experiences, China Technical Consultants, Inc., are proceeding
with the construction of the Kwoh-Ting Library and Archives
in Dr. Li's alma mater, the National Central University
(NCU), where the Research Center for Taiwan Economic Development
is also established for the purpose of carrying out the
operation of this Library and promoting research work
into Taiwan's economic development.

The personal files of Dr. K.T. Li will form the core
of the library's collection. The library will also collect
and organize the personal files of other prominent policy
makers in the formulation and implementation of Taiwan's
economic policy. As such, the library collection will
include almost all of the most important information
relating to Taiwanese economic development from 1960
to 1980 - a critical economic take-off period for Taiwan.
In order to maintain its specialization, the RCTED will,
on a regular basis, collect all information that is
deemed significant in the field of Taiwan economic policy
formulation, and make it available, along with other
supporting resources (computers, research rooms, and
so on), for research purposes. The primary objective
of the RCTED is that the NCU will become widely recognized
as the foremost organization for the study and research
of Taiwan's economic policies.
