台積電宣布有意在美國設廠，奠定另一項美台夥伴關係的里程碑。美台關係不只是「真朋友，真進展」，也建立在諸多共享價值上，包括尊重智慧財產權和創新，保護網路自由，並推動私部門帶領的成長。台積電的宣布以及隨之而來美台商務關係的拓展，彰顯了這些共享價值如何協助我們追求彼此共同的戰略利益。美國將持續與台灣政府及業界夥伴合作，一起實踐我們的共同利益，也就是促進一個自由開放的印太地區、打造多元化供應鏈，並生產安全且高品質的科技產品。

美國國務卿蓬佩奧推文：「美國歡迎台積電投資120億美元，在美國設立全球最先進的5奈米晶圓廠，這項投資案將能在中國企圖獨霸尖端技術並控制關鍵產業之際，強化美國國家安全。」

Today’s announcement is another milestone in the U.S.-Taiwan partnership, often described with the phrase “Real Friends, Real Progress.” Our partnership is built upon a collection of shared values, including respect for intellectual property and innovation, protection of internet freedom, and commitment to private sector-led growth. Today’s announcement, and the resulting expansion of our commercial ties, is exemplary of how these shared values can also help us pursue our shared strategic interests. The United States will continue to collaborate with Taiwan government and industry counterparts to pursue our common interests: a free and open Indo-Pacific; diversified supply chains; and secure, high-quality technology products.

Secretary Pompeo tweeted: “The U.S. welcomes TSMC’s intention to invest $12B in the most advanced 5-nanometer semiconductor fabrication foundry in the world. This deal bolsters U.S. national security at a time when China is trying to dominate cutting-edge tech and control critical industries.”

The very fact it's called "Third World" says a lot, and then they publish an article on the "benefit" of colonialism using selective data. I guess that didn't take long...You can't make this stuff up. Occidental hegemony corrected?

LETTER OF RESIGNATION FROM MEMBERS OF THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF THIRD WORLD QUARTERLY

Dear Shahid Qadir, Taylor & Francis, Colleagues and Interested Public,

We are deeply disappointed by the unacceptable process around the publication of Bruce Gilley’s Viewpoint essay, “The case for colonialism,” which was published in Third World Quarterly without any consultation with the Editorial Board. As International Editorial Board Members, we were told in an email on 15 September from Shahid Qadir that this piece was put through the required double-blind peer review process. We asked for these reviews to be sent to the Editorial Board, and they were not.

We have now been informed by our colleagues who reviewed the piece for a Special Issue that they rejected it as unfit to send to additional peer review, and they stated in an email to us:

“We would question the editorial process that has led to the publication of the piece. It was initially offered to guest editors Dr John Narayan and Dr Leon Sealey-Huggins as an article to consider for inclusion in the aforementioned special issue. The guest editors relayed their unease with the article and rejected considering the piece for peer review. It has subsequently come to light that the article was later reviewed as a standard article and rejected by at least one reviewer and then repackaged as an opinion piece.”—email from Dr John Narayan (Birmingham City University)

Dr Kehinde Andrews (Birmingham City University)
Dr Eugene Nulman (Birmingham City University)
Dr Goldie Osuri (University of Warwick)
Dr Lucia Pradella (King’s College London)
Professor Vijay Prashad (Trinity College)
Dr Sahar Rad (SOAS, University of London)
Professor Satnam Virdee (University of Glasgow)
Dr Helen Yaffe (London School of Economics)

We have also been informed through correspondence between Prof Ilan Kapoor and our colleague who was the peer-reviewer, after the piece was rejected by the Special Issue editors, that her review also rejected the Viewpoint. Thus, the fact is established that this did not pass the peer-review when we have documentation that it was rejected by three peer reviewers.

As the Viewpoint did not pass the double-blind peer review as claimed by the editor in the statement he issued in the name of the journal, it must be retracted and a new statement issued.

The Viewpoint fails criterion #1 of the Committee on Publication Ethics COPE guidelines that state: “Journal editors should consider retracting a publication if: they have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g. data fabrication) or honest error (e.g. miscalculation or experimental error).” https://publicationethics.org/…/Retractions_COPE_gline_fina…
These COPE guidelines are Taylor & Francis’s reference documents for ethics of retracting a publication the editorial board was told in an email on 18 September by Shahid Qadir.

Thus, Bruce Gilley’s Viewpoint essay, “The case for colonialism” must be retracted, as it fails to provide reliable findings, as demonstrated by its failure in the double-blind peer review process.

We all subscribe to the principle of freedom of speech and the value of provocation in order to generate critical debate. However, this cannot be done by means of a piece that fails to meet academic standards of rigour and balance by ignoring all manner of violence, exploitation and harm perpetrated in the name of colonialism (and imperialism) and that causes offence and hurt and thereby clearly violates that very principle of free speech.

The Editor of TWQ has issued a public statement without any consultation with the Editorial Board that is not truthful about the process of this peer-review, and thus, as we fully disagree with both the academic content of the Viewpoint and the response issued in the name of the journal, we are forced to resign immediately from the Editorial Board of Third World Quarterly.

As scholars, we remain ever-committed to the ideals that this journal has stood for over the past 40 years, and we would consider serving on an Editorial Board under different editorial arrangements.

Sincerely,
