This project examines Taiwanese communities that are creating new spatial formats through their missionary work. The headquarters of the religious organizations in Taiwan are producing transnational spaces through interactions with local actors across the world, which is revealed by the internationalization strategies in South Africa of the Buddhist organization, Fo Guang Shan, as well as the new religious movement, Yiguandao. In analysing these two organizations, the project explores the transnational organizational structures, the translation of doctrines and practices for other socio-cultural contexts, and the dynamics of central control and decentralization. The study is placed within the context of the currently burgeoning economic and political science research on 'China in Africa'.

这个项目考察了台湾社区通过他们的传教工作创造新的空间形式。台湾宗教组织的总部正在通过与世界各地的当地参与者互动来创造跨国空间，这从佛教组织佛光山和新宗教运动宜观岛在南非的国际化战略中可见一斑。在分析这两个组织时，该项目探讨了跨国组织结构、将理论和做法转化为其他社会文化背景以及中央控制和权力下放的动态。这项研究是在目前蓬勃发展的经济和政治学研究《中国在非洲》的背景下进行的。
