台灣蔡英文政權的外交安保決策過程：以2018年的美中台關係為例（The Decision-Making Process of Foreign and Security Policies under the Tsai Ing-wen Administration in Taiwan: A Case Study on the U.S.-China-Taiwan Relations in 2018）

本文以2018年的美中台關係為例，旨在探討台灣蔡英文政權下以中國大陸政策為中心的外交安全保障決策過程之運作的特徵與問題點。從本文結論得知，就傳統外交安保政策問題而，蔡英文的決策機制對應得當；然而，對於涵蓋經濟政策的非傳統外交安全保障政策問題方面，蔡英文政權的對應則明顯不足。然而本文也指出，經濟政策的問題不僅僅涉及總統透過國家安全會議之決策參與的層面，而是與經濟政策專門知識及技術官僚的影響力等各種要素相關。由於中國大陸在未來很有可能從各方面施加壓力，所以不僅在傳統外交政策領域，蔡英文必須更全面的進行決策過程之中相關的協調與整合機制的調整，以因應相關的問題。 This paper analyzes how President Tsai Ing-wen manages her foreign-security decision making process by the case study of SinoAmerican relations in 2018. In this case study, the Tsai administration made the explicit and cohesive correspondence for the Taiwan Travel Act, which is the traditional security problem. But the mainland China policy and security policy sector do not have a good cooperative relationship with the economic sector in the administrations for the China–United States trade war in 2018. Additionally, the background of the problem is not only that the President's power in the economic field at the Semi-presidentialism in Taiwan is limited, but also the technocrats in the R.O.C regime have the most influence at economic policy decision process. As a result, because Taiwan will be faced with pressures by China at every aspect starting from 2019, President Tsai should reconstruct the comprehensive decision-making regime soon in order to face these challenges.
