九零年代與兩千年後的臺灣地方社群運動

The Local Community Movements in Taiwan Around Thirty Years Ago and the Present Day

透過兩個世代不同的地方運動，我們企圖詮釋其分別不同的政治與經濟脈絡，如何產生不同的地方實踐。1990年代前後的社區運動，是臺灣民主初體驗與臺灣認同的摸索期。2010年之後的地方創生則來自於全球化下對抽象性的反彈，年輕人到地方進行另一種有別於資本積累邏輯的生產觀。這樣的行動無意中和公部門合作進行了社會民主的在地實踐，一個全球化下國家角色轉換的體現。兩次的地方實踐都拓寬了我們對於民主不同的新想像。

This study analyzed local community movements during two distinct periods: the 1990s and 2020s. Each period has been shaped by different po¬litical and economic circumstances, resulting in diverse practices within local communities. The first period, the 1990s, coincided with a redefinition of na-tional identity and an exploration of democratic ideals as Taiwan transitioned away from authoritarian rule. The second period, the 2020s, emerged in the context of renewed globalization that started in the 2010s. It is characterized by resistance to corporate dominance. The current generation has re-engaged with local communities to implement an alternative model of“production.”This aligns with the government’s social democratic policies and supports their meticulous implementation. These developments collectively illustrate the evolving role of the state in the globalized era. Both waves of local move¬ments have substantially expanded the democratic imagination in Taiwan.
