我國資安行政法人被終結的個案研究：斷續均衡理論的修正與應用   全文下載

A Case Study of the Termination of the Taiwanese Cybersecurity NDPB: The Revision and Application of the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory

行政院於2001年起，委託資策會成立技服中心，作為協助政府推動資安的專責機構。馬英九執政後期，決定將該中心改為行政法人性質的資安中心，並改由科技部監督。2016年4月資安中心正式掛牌，但不到兩個月，該行政法人即被新上任的蔡英文政府廢除，回復為原來的技服中心。後來，蔡政府配合政府組織再造，將技服中心再度改制為行政法人。行政法人性質的資安機構，歷經設立、廢止、再設立的過程，是臺灣第一個、也是唯一曾被廢止的行政法人。作者透過文本分析與訪談，運用修正的斷續均衡理論，解釋該行政法人資安中心被終結的原因與過程。本研究發現，本政策終結個案為高度政治性，而促成政策變遷的主因為法案審議不夠嚴謹，以及政治環境發生劇變。

In 2001, the Executive Yuan commissioned the Institute for Information Industry to establish the Information and Communication Security Technology Center (ICST) as a specialized agency to assist the government in promoting information security. Towards the end of Ma Ying-jeou administration, the agency was converted into a non-departmental public body (NDPB) called the National Center for Cyber Security Technology (NCCST) and transferred to the supervision of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The NCCST was officially launched in April 2016, but within two months, the NDPB was abolished by the incoming administration of Tsai Ing-wen and reverted to the previous ICST. Subsequently, under the program of government re-engineering adopted by the Tsai administration, the ICST was once again converted into a NDPB. Therefore, the NDPB responsible for information security was established, abolished, and then re-established by two different administrations. It is the first and only non-departmental public body in Taiwan that had previously been abolished. Using textual analysis and interviews and applying the revised punctuated equilibrium theory, the author seeks to explain the reasons and process of the termination of the NCCST as a NDPB. This study found that the termination in this case was highly political, with the main factors contributing to the policy change being lax legislative scrutiny and radical changes in the political environment.
