在台婚姻移民議題之安全化

Abstract

本研究採用安全化理論來分析台灣政府對「居留延長」、「面談制度」、「財力證明」、「生物特徵錄存」等中國大陸婚姻移民議題，以及「面談制度」、「歸化測驗」、「生物特徵辨識」等東南亞婚姻移民議題。本論文呈現出台灣政府如何透過安全化論述，將中國大陸及東南亞婚姻移民議題，呈現為安全議題，進而使作為聽眾的台灣民眾接受其違反正常行政程序及侵害人權的緊急措施。 在本論文中選擇的七項議題中，台灣政府的安全化行動只在兩項議題中是失敗的，其餘五項則是成功的。本研究根據安全化理論，歸納出各議題可能的成因，並以各案例之外部因素與內部因素，剖析各議題成敗的關鍵。研究結果顯示，以安全化理論作為理解在台婚姻移民議題的框架，能充分展現在台婚姻移民議題中台灣政府的安全化論述與民間社團及學者的反安全化論述之動態性。

Applying Securitization theory, the thesis suggests that security is socially constructed. It is an outcome of a specific social process. Through speech acts, or the articulation of an issue in security terms, Taiwan’s government officials present Mainland China and Southeast Asian marriage immigrants issues as security issues and define related things as an urgent existential threat to the security of Taiwan. Due to its declared urgency, it provides Taiwan’s government officials with the right to legitimize the imposition of emergency, and extraordinary measures transcending standard political procedures to block the threat and handle the issue. Among the seven issues discussed, only in two of them the securitizing moves failed. The thesis conclude some possible cause of the seven issues, and applying internal and external conditions to explain why certain securitizing moves are successful while the others are not. The result shows that Securitization Theory is a proper framework to understand the dynamics between Taiwan’s government officials’securitizing discourse and civil groups and scholars’desecuritizing discourse.
