Popis: | 99 The Executive Yuan of the Republic of China was established in 1928, and since then it had gone through the tutelage, constitutionalism, rebellion suppression and martial law periods as well as the challenges of democratization and globalization. The organization and function of the Executive Yuan reflected the role it played in the political and economic context and the changes of the environment it confronted. Before the government migrated to Taiwan, the ROC faced a string of domestic troubles and foreign invasion. However, the organization and function of the Executive Yuan still managed to make adjustments in response to actual political demands at that time. After the government migrated to Taiwan and before the martial law was lifted, the government took overall control of the civil society and dominated the networking relationship and operational development of every political, economic, social and cultural dimension. Both the application of the constitution and the operation of the government system were deeply influenced by authoritarianism. Consequently the organization of the Executive Yuan had not been amended for a long time due to the consideration of legality continuance. However, in order to respond to actual political demands, the organization and function of the Executive Yuan had been adjusted and proliferated a couple of times. After the martial law was lifted and before the direct presidential election was held, the trends of political democratization, economic liberalization and social diversification conferred by the internally and externally political and economic situation led the government to push forward reforms such as the constitutional amendments, the direct presidential election and the organizational adjustment of the Executive Yuan. The reorganization of the Executive Yuan pushed forward by the ruling Kuomingtang and Democratic Progressive Party had long been the focal points of the government’s policy. During this period, the proliferation and adjustment of the organization and function of the Executive Yuan deeply reflected the demands of the people and the global trend of democratization at that time. After the presidential direct election and the passage of the four laws of the organizational reengineering in 2010, Taiwan completed the first party alternation and the peaceful transfer of the regime. The democratic mechanism of Taiwan was also deepened more. After the organizational adjustment of the Executive Yuan, both its organizational structure and human resources are directed toward the objectives of simplicity, flexibility and efficiency in order to fabricate a “small but capable” government to enhance the country’s global competitiveness. In addition, under the constitutional two-headed system, the Executive Yuan has to face concurrently the president and the Legislative Yuan, both of whom has the legitimacy of the public opinion. Consequently the adjustment of the role it plays also influences the smoothness of political promotion. This thesis takes the overall political and economic context in history as the basis to explore the operation and transition of the organization and function of the Executive Yuan in order to define the role it should play in the current reengineering of its organization. |
