    Abstract: This article argues that the existing literature on world city formation overlooks geopolitics and political struggles in accounting for a city`s transformation. Using Taipei as a case study, the article shows that geo-economics, geopolitics and local politics each played an important role in Taipei`s ambiguous world city formation in the late 1990s and are expected to continue to do so in the not too promising future. It is argued that the globalization process in the 1980s and the corresponding restructuring of the Taiwan economy induced the state to adopt a new developmental strategy that enhanced Taipei`s competitiveness. However, the democratization process facilitated a new nation-building process in the late-1990s and the newly-elected regime suppressed the city of Taipei`s ongoing development, as a consequence of which Taipei`s competitiveness as a regional world city has been declining. Geopolitics and local politics are thus found to explain to a large degree the ambiguities currently defining Taipei`s world city formation.


    La littérature existante sur la formation des villes mondiales néglige les luttes géopolitiques et politiques dans ses explications de la transformation d`une ville. Prenant comme cas Taipei, l`article montre que géo-économie, géopolitique et politique locale ont chacune joué un r^le important dans la formation complexe de cette ville mondiale vers la fin des années 1990, rôle qu`elles devraient conserver dans un avenir peu prometteur. Le processus de mondialisation des années 1980 et la restructuration subséquente de l`économie taiwanaise ont conduit l`5´tat à adopter une nouvelle stratégie de développement, laquelle a renforcé la compétitivité de Taipei. En revanche, le processus de démocratisation a encouragé un processus de construction nationale dans la fin des années 1990 et le régime récemment élu a asphyxié l`évolution de cette ville, en conséquence de quoi la compétitivité de Taipei en tant que ville mondiale de la région a décliné. La géopolitique et la politique locale peuvent donc expliquer en grande partie les ambiguïtés qui définissent actuellement la formation de la ville mondiale de Taipei.
