Keeping the peace in a changing regime: Police work in Taiwan.

Keeping the peace in a changing regime: Police work in Taiwan. - 235 p.

Adviser: Jean Comaroff.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2006.

This dissertation is a study of policing in Taiwan, looking at how the island's recent political shift (1986-1996) from a single-party authoritarian state to a multiparty constitutional democracy is playing out in the practices through which local order is produced. I do this through an ethnography of neighborhood police work, examining how local claims to authority are framed, how warrants for action are generated, how interventions are legitimated, and how these social and cultural processes invoke and embody the newly democratic characteristics of Taiwan's government. This vantage point gives us a picture of police work as the management of ongoing tensions and contradictions. The peace maintained by neighborhood policemen emerges at an intersection of centralized and localized authorities, formal and informal processes, bureaucratic procedure and cultural practices, legitimate and moral varieties of force, and public and particularistic tropes of social solidarity. Within this, I examine the skills that neighborhood patrolmen use to contain these tensions within an overall sense of order. I look at the way they rationalize their job as situated at a juncture of distinct legal, rational, and sentimental bases for social organization. I look at how one particular idiom of sentimental community---brotherhood---is involved in integrating informal dimensions of social organization into the wider political regime. And I look at how the management of appearances---the organization of what is made visible and what is tactfully (or tactically) obscured---is central to the maintenance of Taiwan's new democratic order. The police always work in a chasm between imagined and actual community. Under conditions of political reform, this chasm yawns. Taiwan's case, I argue, shows us something of how the long term success of reform depends on those at the bottom of the bureaucratic order finding a way to uphold unrealistic ideals of social organization long enough that they might become real.
