Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Virginia, 1995.

This dissertation focuses on the transformation of the developmental state in Taiwan. Using the state-centered approach, it illuminates the interaction of the Taiwanese state and society in initiating cross-Straits economic policies. This study also challenges the utility of "strong state paradigm" in explaining Taiwan's political economy in the 1990s and beyond.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation focuses on the transformation of the developmental state in Taiwan. Using the state-centered approach, it illuminates the interaction of the Taiwanese state and society in initiating cross-Straits economic policies. This study also challenges the utility of "strong state paradigm" in explaining Taiwan's political economy in the 1990s and beyond.
520 $a The study begins with the discussion of democratization in Taiwan. Democratization leads to the division of political elite and the ascendance of social forces, and thus changes the balance of power between state and society. As reflected in Taiwan's management of cross-Straits relations, the policy output is the compromise of competing factional interests and the reconciliation of social demands. For the bureaucratic decision making process, bureaucrats split on the tempo, content, and priority in initiating policies. Along with the inter-agency conflicts, business groups regained their momentum in influencing policy making. As the KMT party state gradually transforms itself into an indigenous regime, the state can no longer maintain its insulation from social and business interests. Considering the insufficiency of coordination and the pressure from society, the state lacks the capacities to govern and lead the market mechanism in doing business with mainland China. The state just partially legitimizes the current situation and fails to regulate profit-seeking Taiwanese businessmen. In brief, three important factors of the "strong state paradigm"--a coherent political elite, state dominance over society, and the capacity of the state to govern the market--are challenged in this study.
520 $a In conclusion, this dissertation argues that state capacity and state autonomy in Taiwan have been greatly changed after the large-scale democratization began. Research agenda for Taiwan's political economy must include competing bureaucratic interests, the bargaining and accommodation process between state and society, and some dynamic institutions such as the legislative body and informal social organizations. Only through an interactive perspective of state-society relations could the changing nature of the Taiwanese state during political and economic transition be fully understood.
