移民治理研究的地方轉向——兼論兩岸城市經驗

2017

Generally speaking, people believe that the living conditions of the new area will be better, then they make decision to migrate to another place to live. In the theory of migration, it can be divided into individual factors and structural factors. No matter which factor, migration will have an effect on the development of immigrant society. In 1949, there were over 1.2 millions of the people who migrated from mainland China to Taiwan. Undoubtedly, it was caused by the structural and political factors that pushed the "great migration". Because the immigrants moving into Taiwan accounted for a considerable proportion of the population, they formatted an ethnic group so-called "mainlanders". This paper attempts to use migration as an approach to review and explore the development of society in Taiwan in the second half of the 20th century. The time frame is between the year of 1949 when the Nationalist government immigrated to Taiwan and the year of 1996 when direct presidential election took place in Taiwan.

2013 年9、10 月間，中國國家主席習近平利用訪問中亞四國與印尼的機會，分別提出建設「絲綢之路經濟帶」與「21 世紀海上絲綢之路」的構想。而這樣的戰略意圖到底是如同中國外長王毅所強調的「不是地緣工具……不能用冷戰思維看待」，亦或是如解放軍少將喬良所稱「是跟美國戰略東移的一次對沖」。事實上，中國崛起在國際認知上，從來就沒有一致的認知，是否將會因經濟實力的變遷，而衝擊當前國際秩序，原本就在不同學派認知的爭議中劇烈衝撞。攤開地緣戰略地圖，如此大規模的跨區域戰略布局，不可能僅止於經濟、貿易、通商等低位階的安排，而不去調動高位階的國際政治與權力結構關係。因此，如何觀察這樣一個戰略安排的本質，如何理解其中的權力轉換，如何思考崛起中國在歐亞世界島的權力位置，而如此龐大的跨區域整合、鉅額的投資需求，複雜的權力重組，將會帶來的是無限美好的發展藍圖，亦或是新一輪冷戰的再起，基本上都是本文所關切，而亟欲思考、解決的議題。透過戰略局勢的地緣觀察，筆者認為，地緣的本質不變性與變動性，恰正可以提供超越意識形態認知的一條思維途徑。

This dissertation begins with Michael Foucault's classic explanation of "biopower". For Foucault, the reason why life asserted itself as the ultimate point of reference in the modern age is that the operations of power increasingly abandon the mode of sovereignty whose rationality consists in "power against power", performed in spectacular rituals with the right to take life as ultimate reference. Instead, the mode of biopower maintains itself by the productive effects of powers circulated in different partial mechanisms, the processes of materialization from partial mechanisms to global strategy and the economy and transfer between power technologies within the whole dispositif. According to the three highly theoretical methods of genealogy, the dissertation reconstructs the discourse of war in Foucault: war as the principle of social organization, the mutual deciphering among patterns of war in discrete discourses, and lastly, the displacement from war to government. From the threads of genealogy to the clarification of discourses of war, the correspondence in empirical reality is a new political domain to which Jean-Jacques Rousseau attempted to bind by sovereign and law. In this new political domain which was named "the police" in 18 th and later Foucault referred to as "the government". In this new domain, there are multiple objects for government, which could be generalized as "population", there is no single principle for effective government, only the general term "governmentality", and "dispositif of security" in this new domain avoids the conflicts and depletion between governmental mechanisms. In the replacement of raison d'etat with the liberal creeds in rationality of government, there emerged new objects as population, new principles as governmentality and new political rationality as security. In Foucault's highly experimental exploration of the implication of biopolitics, the physical bodies gradually recede, or, in the networks of dispositif, which perfectly achieve the exchange of life and death, they could come on the biopolitical scene in new forms, that is why "neoliberalism as the birth of biopolitics". This dissertation responds to Esposito's interrogation of Foucault if the distinction between sovereign and biopower with discrete effects of death and life would be conceptually inaccurate. However, in the elaboration of biopolitical antagonism between Empire and Multitude

由於台灣天然災害發生的頻率甚高，常釀成重大災情，災難防治遂為重要課題。九二一地震讓我國災難防救體系成為眾所矚目的焦點，開啟一扇政策討論之窗。然而，一個尚未被深入探究的面向，則是民主化如何影響救災行政體系的運作。災難援救看似一個技術性的工作，可透過強而有力的官僚體係－良好的人員訓練、精密而充分的工具設備，再加上有效的領導統御－來解決。但步入民主化之後，行政官僚的行動必須兼具回應性與可靠性，故面對災難，政府已無法單向地施政，而必須與受治者密切互動－民眾會定義災難情境並因此對政府有所期待，政府則必須有效處理這樣的期待以維繫政權。同時，民主的新挑戰乃私部門的興起以及官僚體系的網絡化－由許多擁有自治權以及不同利益觀點的行政次體系，要共同擔負災難情境的管理工作。因此，如何促成各組織間的協調與合作，成就此「治理」的工作，乃民主化之後災難治理的新課題。本文除援引上述理論來解釋九二一震災中為何政府救災成效不彰外，並強調各級政府間伙伴關係的建立，政治利益被正確地認識並納入制度改造的考量，才是改善我國災難治理效能之道。

The purpose of this study, based on the author’s personal experiences of disjuncture in her professional career, is to explore reasons for the employment promotion measures’ failure to improve the career situation of persons with severe disabilities. Drawing upon institutional ethnography, the author portrayed the actors involved in the process, and analyzed factors influencing those actors’ decisions. The aim is to disclose why, even with so many employment promotion measures, persons with disabilities are still trapped in low-paid and low-skilled jobs. The author argued in her analysis that：(1) the government, the education and the professional system promote an image of hard-working citizens and they persuade families with children with disabilities to make decisions meeting this social expectation;(2) due to the lack of and/or the unaffordable social services, those families work hard to follow the arrangement by schools and professionals;(3) the experts and professionals influe...

This study investigated early and recent news reports on typhoons and typhoon-related disasters released by United Daily News from the perspectives of language construction, core meanings, and reporting trends. This study collected news reports from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1996, and from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2016, representing early and recent news respectively. The study employed text mining and frame analysis methods and studied the ＂frame＂ difference of news media over the past three decades. An analysis of the language construction of the news reports revealed that, concerning the subject of social communication, recent typhoon reports often utilized opinions from different social ＂actors＂ to increase the conflicts and violations of norms and human rights. From early to recent period, it is found that news frame are transiting from the early ＂response to nature＂ to the recent ＂response to society＂. The former focuses on the information transmission of natural ...

The purpose of this study is to examine information seeking behavior of visually impaired people using the library. This study also seeks to discover how visually impaired people use libraries whilst analyzing the barriers and problems they experience, and whether libraries actually meet their needs. The Research framework of this study followed the Sense-Making theory, which is problemsolving oriented. Subjects for this research were chosen from the visually impaired users of the National Taiwan Library (NTL). This study used semistructured interviews and questionnaires to collect data, including 23 individual interviewees (15 were blind, 8 were partially sighted, aged from 24 to 83) and 280 participants for the survey study (210 were blind, 70 were partially sighted, aged from 9 to 67). Based on the results, the authors of this paper offered some practical suggestions to NTL for the quality and service of collections, librarians, services, and equipments and environments. The authors also offered some suggestions to visual disability service units and government departments in order to serve as references for improving services for visually impaired people.

In recent years, the research performance evaluation of members of the academic community conducted by government or institutions has been applied with multiple indicators and peer review, however, there are many controversies about the design and application of research evaluation indicators. This article aims to introduce the development process of San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and Leiden Manifesto and summarize their contents of guidelines and attempts to compare the differences between these two documents. It hopes that this article can arise the attention and reflection of research evaluation indicators and relevant issues from Taiwan academic community to reach consensus of utilization of research evaluation indicators. It will be beneficial to develop the version of declaration with local characteristics in the future.
