The establishment of an anti-corruption agency marks a milestone of institutional reforms. The military of the Republic of China (ROC)on Taiwan's one of the few Taiwanese bureaucratic exceptions, which consistently refuses to accept civilian ethics personnel as part of the permanent institution within the military. But the Act of the Establishment and Management of the Government Employee Ethics Units and Officers has been amended by the Legislative Yuan in 2011 to legitimize the deployment of civilian ethics personnel in the Ministry of National Defense (MND). Under the parallel pressure from the political will of President Ma Yin-jou and the public opinion, the MND is implemented to the amendment ofOrganization Act of the Ministry of National Defense, which was passed by the Legislative Yuan on November 27, 2012,to formally install ethics office under the MND and appoint the civilian ethics personnel. This civilian deployment is indeed a milestone in terms of reforming anti-corruption policy in theTaiwan military history. However, the MND is struggling to settle the turf battle in the process of accommodating both civilian ethics personnel and the political warfare officers who are traditionally in charge of military ethics and integrity affairs. This paper aims to analyze the potential conflicts between the military and civil service within the MND. An international literature review is presented to summarize the 6 core components in order to ensure a sustainable anti-corruption agency (AAC) and followed by the analysis of the historical development and transformation on political warfare system and civilian anti-corruption personnel respectively. The third part is to discuss the forthcoming challenges that civilian ethics personnel might encounter when they are formally installed in the MND. Both literature analysis and in-depth interview are applied as major methodology. This paper concludes that due to the various potential conflicts between the military and civilian personnel, the absence of clear account ability within the military anti-corruption mechanisms, and the lack of efficient operation on anti-corruption policy, there will be an enduring and tough integration period before we see the dawn of the light. |
