Democratic Governance
During the 21st century, socially equitable economic growth and sustainable human development are also goals that most countries over the world are pursuing, which emphasized the notion of “good governance”, or “sound governance”, or “democratic governance”. For Vietnam, how to promote and strengthen democratic governance must be one of the most crucial issues to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. This study is innovative as applying democrat…
Policy diffusion and public service motivation
Studies on the adoption of innovation in public organizations usually focus on the influences of external and internal organizational factors and place less emphasis on the effects of individual civil servants. In the diffusion of the Bookstart programme in Taiwan, the attitudes of the directors of public libraries and their information sources are critical. This study applies the concept of public service motivation (PSM) and different kinds of …
The diffusion of the Bookstart programme in Taiwan
Service delivery innovations have taken hold in local governments across the globe. Attention is largely focused on innovations in the West. This symposium of the Asian Journal of Public Policy provides evidence from Taiwan and examines an early years education programme called Bookstart. This introductory article presents a framework of competing concepts for the study of innovation diffusion. The framework draws attention to questions of partne…
Public Administration Research in Taiwan
This article presents a description of the discipline of public administration in Taiwan and a survey of research on the subject. A total of 1,090 articles appearing in five public administration journals during the period of 1990 to 2010 were examined from three aspects: authorship and productivity, research subject and keyword, and research purpose and method. Comparisons were made across time (1990-1999, 2000-2010) and by type of journal (TSSC…
Public Administration Research in Mainland China and Taiwan
Public Administration (PA) as a field of study in China has made tremendous strides over the last three decades. This paper provides an overview of PA research in China from a sample of 2,877 articles published in six top PA journals in mainland China and Taiwan between 1998 and 2008. Our analysis based on these journal publications reveals several critical shortcomings of PA research in China in research reporting, approaches, and methodologies,…
The historical institutionalism analysis of Taiwan’s administrative reform
Government restructuring has been discussed extensively in Taiwan for more than three decades, and the first NPM-style administrative reform programme, which emphasizes ‘a leaner and businesslike government’, was launched in 1996. Since then, NPM has been the key guideline producing a strong path-dependence effect for subsequent administrative reform programmes in Taiwan. This article examines the trajectory of administrative reform in Taiwan fro…
Rhetoric or action? An assessment of the administrative reform in Taiwan
Administrative reform in Taiwan has to be understood within the contexts of recent political development. The ROC government has been transforming from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one since 1987. Within the context of changing state–society relations, administrative reform in Taiwan can be perceived as the products of politicization through which politicians, bureaucrats and members of the civil society attempt to advance their respec…
The Transformation and Challenges of Local Governance in Taiwan
The impacts of globalization, localization and the global “governmental reinvention” movements have created an atmosphere in which major government reform programs have been designed and implemented in recent years. From the perspective of the historical new institutionalism, this study examines the evolution and challenges of local governance in Taiwan. Since the martial law was lifted in 1987, local governance and structures in Taiwan had gone …
The Evolution of Administrative Reform in Taiwan
Administrative reform in Taiwan can only be understood within the context of recent political development. The government has been changed from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one since 1987. By examining administrative reform programs in Taiwan in terms of changing state-society relations over time, this article attempts to demonstrate that government actions have been constrained by the structuralized historical realities. Administrativ…
Democratic theorizing in Taiwan
This study reconstructs Taiwan people's existing discursive structures on democracy by replicating Dryzek and Berejikian's Q methodological study of American democratic discourses. It finds that under the existing specific historical circumstances, Taiwan people's democratic attitudes manifest a complex, pluralistic and interrelated discursivity, in which at least five democratic discourses can be identified, namely democratic pragmatism, democra…
Dissolution and Reconstruction of National Identity
Due to unique historical and structural conditions Taiwan society has long been troubled by a national identity problem. While this dilemma has captured significant academic interests in recent years, most treatments of the subject pay insufficient attention to the subjective factors which shape the national identity discourse on the island. This study attempts to reconstruct, from the subjects' perspectives, the discourses on national identity a…
