Abstract Employing the theories of new liberalism as the analytic structure, this research paper takes the trend and changes of foreign aid during the post-cold-war period as a reference for the foreign aid policy of Taiwan. Since the government initiated Southward Policy in 1994, and signed many related investment and trade protection agreements with Indonesia, there are positive effects to the economic and trading exchange and investments between Taiwan and Indonesia. Although Indonesia has been taking the standpoint of ¡§Politically Inclining to China, Economically Inclining to Taipei,¡¨ ever since Taiwan provided aid to Indonesia, the respects to the institutions of Taiwan functioning in Indonesia have been obviously promoted. In order to meet the investments needs of Taiwanese businessmen and attract more Taiwanese businessmen to invest in the nation, Indonesia opens the import of the Chinese books and allows the building of schools exclusively for the children of Taiwanese businessmen. In future the practical diplomacy policy of Taiwan towards Indonesia should implement mutual-beneficial and mutual-trust aiding measures. The industries being beneficial to both parties should be selected. There should be policies to give guidelines to the abundant economic resources in the private sectors of Taiwan. The government should assist Indonesia to establish excellent production environment for small business so as to build up multiple cooperation channels between Taiwan and Indonesia. Besides, Taiwan government should also combine with the power of private sectors and organizations, giving aid and cooperation in a way of ¡§downward development from the top,¡¨ and strengthening the expansion of relationship with the Indonesian people and community. Once the foundation is established, spots must be gradually expanded to planes, and the political diplomatic relationship between Taiwan and Indonesia must be enhanced.

Through analysis of large-scale ocean gyre dynamics from simulation results of the ocean component of the Community Earth System Model version 1 - the Parallel Ocean Program version 2 (CESM1-POP2) - this study builds upon existing research suggesting recent changes in the circulation of global subtropical gyres with respect to the South Atlantic Ocean. Results all point to an increase in the total counterclockwise circulation and a southward displacement of the sub- tropical gyre system. The northern boundary of the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre (SASG) is represented by the bifurcation of the southern branch of the South Equatorial Current (sSEC) into the North Brazil Undercurrent/Current (NBUC/NBC) to the north and the Brazil Current (BC) to the south. The sSEC Bifurcation Latitude (SBL) dictates the partition between waters flowing poleward and those flowing equatorward. Although a northward migration of the SBL would be expected with the gyre spin up and associated poleward transport increase, the SBL migrates southwards at a rate of 0.051o/yr, in conjunction to a substantial increase in the equatorward advection of waters within the sSEC-SBL-NBUC system, which is included in the upper-branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. / Através de análises da dinâmica de grande-escala do giro oceânico, proveniente dos resultados de simulação da componente oceânica do Community Earth System Model versão 1 - o Parallel Ocean Program versão 2 (CESM1-POP2) - este estudo se baseia em estudos prévios sugerindo mudanças recentes na circulação dos giros subtropicais globais, com respeito ao oceano Atlântico Sul. Os resultados apontam para uma intensificação da circulação anti-horária e um deslocamento para sul de todo o sistema do giro subtropical. A borda norte do Giro Subtropical do Atlântico Sul (GSAS) é representada pela bifurcação do ramo sul da Corrente Sul Equatorial (CSEs) em Subcorrente/Corrente Norte do Brasil (SCNB/CNB) para norte e Corrente do Brasil (CB) para sul. A Latitude da Bifurcação da CSEs (LBC) determina a partição entre as águas fluindo em direção ao pólo e aquelas fluindo em direção ao equador. Embora seja esperada uma migração para norte da LBC com a aceleração da circulação do giro e consequente aumento do transporte em direção ao pólo, a LBC migra para sul a uma taxa de 0.051o/ano. Esta migração ocorre em conjunto à um aumento substancial na advecção de águas em direção ao equador com o sistema CSEs-LBC-SCNB, o qual está incluso no ramo superior da Circulação de Revolvimento Meridional do Atlântico.
