英文摘要 |
The convergence of computer, telecommunication, and entertainment industries has a greater impact on the decisions of industrial policy in recent years. This study examines Taiwan's policy on digital contents to see to what extent economic factors have dominated the mode of cultural production. The policy on cultural digitalization is critical because of its potential to promote further economic growth. As one of the developmental states, Taiwan's government aggressively implements broadband technology, encourages a large amount of public and private investments, and even tries to coordinate an international value chain for native digital contents. When the economic goal may be satisfied, the cultural future of digital contents is in doubt. This study takes a critical position to challenge the hitherto policy orientation by examining a comprehensive policy to digital contents. |
