藉由觀察台灣法律移植的動態往復過程，本文希望超越將法律移植視為單向輸入的簡化圖像，進一步凸顯多重外來法在不同行動者的選擇性採納、在地調適與（半）自主詮釋下所展現出的交織運作。從17世紀荷治時期前近代西方法制對原住民社會的注入、鄭氏與清治時期的漢化法治理、日治時期的法制現代化工程，一直到戰後美援體系所帶來的美式法制影響，外來法在這段動態歷程中層層交疊、持續轉化，逐步形塑出台灣當代的法律地景。<br>透過數個具代表性的案例——包括女性對法院的近用、自由民主憲政體制的封存與解凍、家庭暴力防治法的迅速引入與修正、作為國際邊緣行動者對國際人權法的積極參與，以及成為亞洲同性婚姻合法化的先鋒——可見台灣不僅有效吸納全球法律原則，更具備主動建構與創造性轉化的經驗與能力。法律移植並非單純的制度移入，而是一種能夠改塑在地習慣、融合多元法律傳統的動態過程。此一現象顯示，法律移植固然可能被統治者與權勢者策略性運用，以鞏固甚至強化既有霸權，同時也為處於弱勢與邊緣位置的行動者提供了介入與抵抗的空間與可能性。<br>最後主張，未來相關研究應採取長時段且深植在地脈絡的視角，方能更充分理解法律移植作為法制轉化機制所具有的潛力與限制。

This article explores the complex process of legal transplants in Taiwan, examining how the legal system has been influenced by external forces and shaped by local responses such as selective adoption, adaptation, and (semi-)autonomous interpretation by various actors. The analysis begins with the historical progression of Taiwan’s legal landscape, tracing changes from Dutch colonization in the 17th century, through Sinicization under the Zheng and Qing dynasties, to the modernizations during Japanese rule, and the American influences in the post-war era. Key case studies, including women’s access to courts, democratization efforts, domestic violence legislation, human rights advancements, and the legalization of same-sex marriage, underscore Taiwan’s ability to integrate and at times contribute to global legal principles. Legal transplants go beyond mere imposition, serving as processes that reshape local customs and merge various legal traditions. Strategically utilized by a spectrum of actors, from rulers and the powerful to the subordinated and marginalized, Legal transplants function as mechanisms to sustain hegemony and, simultaneously, to resist it. The article concludes by advocating for future research that adopts a long-term, locally grounded perspective to fully grasp the transformative potential of legal transplants.
