The Determinants of Indigenous People’s Passive Representation in Taiwan: An Analysis of the Indigenous Township Offices

Based on the theory of representative bureaucracy, this paper uses the data of 55 Indigenous Township Offices to explore the factors affecting the passive representation of the indigenous people in Taiwan. We adopt the Representative Index and Pitts Index to measure the indigenous communities’passive representation of the Indigenous Township Offices. The findings show that the ethnicity of township head and the indigenous proportion of the population both affect the passive representation. Furthermore, the study finds the conditions of perfect passive representation of the indigenous people. In conclusion, we discuss the research implications and propose policy suggestions which might help the recruitment of indigenous civil servants and facilitate interactions between the indigenous minorities and the Han majority.
