我國廉政機構運作現況與檢討:全觀型治理觀點

陳力葦

《摘要》

我國政府致力建立廉能政府,包含設立法務部廉政署及施行聯合國反貪腐公約施行法等。然而,從我國貪瀆案件層出不窮及廉潔印象指數尚有進步空間來觀察,可發現我國廉政治理成效有待改善。事實上,我國目前已設有許多廉政機構,包含監察院、法務部廉政署、政風機構、法務部調查局與檢察機關等,目的在落實廉政工作,卻似乎出現碎裂化治理之缺失。研究並釐清上述缺失及提出改革目標與策略,為進行本文之重要動機。本文希望能以全觀型治理之觀點,藉著文獻之檢閱及對廉政實務工作者進行訪談,回答下列問題:我國廉政機構之組織設計與彼此間互動是否存在著碎裂化治理之問題?又應如何運用全觀型治理策略以改善我國廉政機構之運作?

本文發現我國廉政機構目前之運作確實存在碎裂化治理的問題,並研提4項有助於我國廉政機構達成全觀型運作目標之策略,包含:以法務部廉政署作為整合平臺、進行廉政機構運作價值整合、採用整合性廉政資訊系統、與持續考訓主動型文官,最終希冀藉由我國廉政機構運作之改善,實現建立廉潔家園之理想。

[關鍵詞]:       廉政機構、全觀型治理、碎裂化治理、廉能政府、廉政署

Anti-corruption Institutions in Taiwan: A Holistic Governance Perspective

Li-Wei Chen

Abstract

Beginning in 1956 the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice in Taiwan was charged with monitoring the security of government organizations and corruption investigation. In 1968, the Executive Yuan ordered the Investigation Bureau to take charge of public service ethics, including corruption, dereliction, unsavory behaviors and other acts of government employees that would tarnish the reputation of their organizations. The Statute of Civil Service Ethics was enacted in 1992 and public service ethics units were established in various government agencies to monitor the integrity of the civil service system. The Agency Against Corruption (AAC), after decades of debates, was finally established under the Ministry of Justice in 2011.

These anti-corruption institutions, in cooperation with prosecutors and police units, have separate but intervening jurisdictions and traditions in fighting corruption. The silo mentality and the practices seen in the fragmented governance among these anti-corruption institutions cause confusion and competition in carrying out their duty. This research, supported by in-depth interviews and detailed literature analysis, advocates that holistic governance theory should be applied to foster a governing network based on an AAC centered, information sharing platform to better fight corruption.
