Background As Washington continues to assess Taiwan’s self-defense capacity largely through the lens of defense budgets and conventional military readiness, this event invites a broader conversation: What truly defines a nation’s ability to endure and respond to conflict? Drawing on over three years of Ukraine’s wartime experience, we explore how resilience is not built by state institutions and armed forces alone, but also through the mobilization of civil society and the adaptability of its technology ecosystem. From rapid drone innovation to decentralized, civilian-driven supply chains, Ukraine has demonstrated how democratic societies can shape defense outcomes in unconventional and powerful ways. In this context, Taiwan stands at the forefront of a pressing global challenge. As a technologically advanced democracy facing sustained coercion from the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan is actively exploring new modes of defense that combine formal military capabilities with civilian technological innovation and whole-of-society resilience strategies. Objectives This discussion aims to broaden how Taiwan’s defense resilience is understood within the Washington policy community. By highlighting lessons from Ukraine — including civil-military collaboration, open-source innovation, and responses to gray-zone tactics — the event offers alternative frameworks for evaluating preparedness beyond traditional metrics. It will also explore how Taiwan’s technological capacity and civic engagement could serve as key pillars of defense in a future crisis, demonstrating how democratic societies can respond creatively to authoritarian threats. Featuring speakers with expertise in civilian-led drone innovation, wartime supply chains, and China’s military modernization, the discussion offers U.S. policymakers and defense analysts timely insights into how Taiwan’s evolving experience can inform more adaptive and democratic approaches to security. Partner Organization Democratic Progressive Party Mission in the United States Speakers and Moderator Bio Iris Shaw Iris Shaw serves as the Director of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Mission in the United States, where she leads the Party’s outreach to the U.S. government, Congress, and policy community in Washington, DC. She was the first staff member appointed when the Mission was reassumed in 2013, and has played a key role in building and sustaining DPP’s ties with Washington’s Taiwan policy community. Over the past decade, she has helped coordinate high-level visits by senior DPP leaders, including President Lai Ching-te (then Mayor of Tainan), as well as former Chair Su Tseng-chang and President Tsai Ing-wen. She also contributed to major party initiatives, including the English translation of President Tsai’s 2016 inaugural address and the drafting of the DPP’s National Defense Policy Blue Paper. Before taking on her current role, Iris worked in the political and congressional affairs divisions of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) in Washington, DC, where she developed and maintained trusted relationships across the U.S. government, Capitol Hill, and leading think tanks. Her professional journey bridges government, civil society, and media. She previously served as a foreign policy advisor in Taiwan’s Presidential Office, Program Director at the California-based Formosa Foundation, and journalist for CommonWealth Magazine.
