從後新公共管理觀點論析我國區域治理與行政法人：一個臺灣地區的實證研究

An Empirical Study of Regional Governance and Administrative Corporation in Taiwan: from a Perspective of Post-New Public Management

在全球快速變遷與高度競爭的環境中，各國皆試圖透過新的公共管理措施來提升國家競爭力；自1980年代以來，許多國家的區域變遷皆與此脈絡有緊密關連。在學理上呈現的是由新公共管理逐步轉變至後新公共管理的論述，而在現實上則可觀察到一個自集權至分權、復又強調分權中帶有集權的趨勢。觀諸近年來我國國土空間規劃體系與治理模式之政策走向，似亦在此一潮流之中。本文從後新公共管理的角度出發，佐以六場實地訪談共54人資料，探討臺灣區域治理發展現狀與所面臨的困境，並描繪未來可能之趨勢。

In this rapid changing and highly competitive global environment, nations aim to increase their competitiveness with new measures of public management. This has paved the way for many regional developments and changes since the 1980s. In theory, the emphasis of decentralization has led the discourse of new public management to post-new pubic management. In practice, a dual insistence of centralization and decentralization is embedded within current development, which has been agglomerated as the spirit of joined-up government in the name of post-new public management. With the information collected from six sessions of forum with 54 interviewers, this paper attempts to reveal the predicament of regional governance and the possible future shift of administrative reform in Taiwan.
