民主與行政:政黨輪替對文官體系的衝擊與影響
余致力
《摘要》
臺灣過去長年由國民黨掌控中央政權,從未有過政黨輪替的現象,直到2000年總統大選,我國中央政府才產生了首次政黨輪替,開啟了從事相關研究的一個機會,也促使公共行政學界更嚴肅與深入地思索民主與行政的大哉問。本文首先簡要評論臺灣民主轉型的功過成敗,繼而回顧公共行政學術發展中,對民主與行政的思辯,再以2000年與2008年兩次中央政府政黨輪替的經驗,來探討政黨輪替對文官體系的衝擊與影響,最後針對2016年第三次政黨輪替提出一些實務運作與學術研究的建言。
[關鍵詞]:民主與行政、政黨輪替、文官體系
Democracy and Administration: The Impact and Influence of Party Alternation on Civil Service

Abstract
The central government in Taiwan was controlled by the Kuomintang (KMT) for more than half a century in the 20th century. As a result, scholars did not have the opportunity to conduct relevant research on the phenomenon of party alternation until the first peaceful power transfer in 2000. The first party alternation also triggered academics of public administration to treat the enduring and increasingly big issue of democracy and administration more seriously and in a more in-depth way. The purpose of this paper is fourfold: first, to comment briefly on the positive and negative results of the democratic transformation in Taiwan; second, to review the deliberation of democracy and administration in the context of the intellectual development; third, to explore the impacts of party alternation on civil service, based on the 2000 and 2008 experiences in Taiwan; and finally, to propose some suggestions for government leaders and academic researchers after the third party changeover in 2016.
Keywords: democracy and administration, party alternation, civil service
