In the post-WWII era, great economic success was achieved in countries that adopted developmental state strategy, mainly because of their centralized administrative power back then and top-down industrial development model. However, with democratization taking place, central governments have gradually lost their dominance over industrial development and this further affected their land use policies. In the case of Taiwan, economic plans had precedence over land use plans before the 1990s, and as democratization and decentralization took place, economic plans were no longer the priority. This article aims to explore whether democratization would inevitably lead to a reform to industrial land use policy of developmental states and whether institutional reform would occur in response. Besides, discuss how COVID-19 affected industrial land policy in Taiwan. This article studied the central government's ability to develop industrial parks and industrial land policy before and after democratization. It was found that the power of the central government was at the peak in the 1980s, and following the decline of the political dominance, and the role of the central government also shifted from leadership to guidance. In response to the shift, Taiwan changed the mechanism of spatial planning embraced its National Spatial Plan as a platform for sectoral policy coordination. In conclusion, this article finds that the industrial land use policy of developmental state will inevitably be reformed as democratization takes place and government's role in economic development became negative, but some signs showed that the role became positive in post COVID-19 era. |
