島外之島：2000-2006年台灣離島政策之分析

Abstract

89年通過離島建設條例，開始形成以台灣所有離島為範疇的空間政策，本文旨在探討89年後離島政策的演變，來瞭解離島地區所處情境。文中闡釋離島的發展背景與社會脈絡，並以組織、審查作業及資源分配三個層面，探討離島政策的內涵。由於這套離島政策是以公平為政策目標，因此筆者借用Deborah A. Stone系統化的分配爭議觀點，分析離島政策的公平性。研究結果發現公平的理念並未如所聲稱落實到離島的資源分配過程中，關鍵在於對公平的不同論述，是對應到當時政策推動所處的時空脈絡，而我們能理解其脈絡，進行溝通而有所行動。

In 2000, with the passing of the Offshore Islands Development Act, Taiwan’s offshore islands spatial policy was integrated as an independent category. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the situational predicament of the offshore islands through a discussion of their policy evolution since 2000. This thesis attempts to explain the development background and the social context of offshore islands policies by looking into three aspects: organizations involved, the evaluation process, and resource distribution. Since fairness and equity are primary policy objectives, the author employs Deborah A. Stone’s systemic dispute-assignment viewpoints to analyze the implementation of the policy. The research outcome shows that the declared objectives of fairness were not attained in the actual process of resource distribution. The key discovery in this analysis is the differences in the discourse regarding fairness, corresponding to the socio-political contexts at the time. Actions taken in resource distribution reflect directly on situational understandings of these contexts.
