議員與村里長互動關係之研究-以臺北市及屏東縣為例

Abstract

議員及村里長均為地方之民選公職人員，也是民眾最常接觸之政治人物。然而，在國內，對於議員與村里長互動關係之研究並不多見；且對於政治、經濟及社會環境均大為不同之兩地作比較者，更付之闕如。本研究旨在探討議員與村里長間之互動關係，以及因為那些因素造成在臺北市及屏東縣有所不同？ 研究發現，臺北市議員與里長之互動關係呈現政治夥伴關係；而屏東縣則為恩庇侍從關係。影響之因素包含議員與村里長間社會關係之性質、制度因素、選區特性、政黨或派系因素、村里長所掌握之資源、議員與村里長本身之實力、掌握資訊能力與程度、政治文化類型及重要意見領袖之態度。
