Citizen Dissatisfaction Leads to Budget Cuts, or Not: A Case Study of a Local Taiwanese Government

標題: Citizen Dissatisfaction Leads to Budget Cuts, or Not: A Case Study of a Local Taiwanese Government
作者: Kuo Nai Ling
摘要: This article addresses how government agencies allocate their program budgets in response to citizen dissatisfaction. It examines three unpopular public programs with varying budget allocations overseen by different government agencies in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The article argues that low levels of citizen satisfaction do not necessarily lead to budget cuts. Rather, budget allocation is mediated by the policy preference of the elected mayor and the intrinsic characteristics of a program. An unpopular program gets cut only if it is of less political priority and there is a lack of interest in the given agency. According to the bureau-shaping model, bureau heads only expand programs give them primacy as policy makers rather than program operators or fund distributers. However, this article shows that whether the program does this or not, the program can still be in preference if the mayor remains in sympathy with the program or the program is associated with the agency's policy function. The former would lead to the reallocation of funds for gaining citizen support; the latter would earn more funds to improve the program performance. © 2012 The Author.

Taiwan's Public Policy Education: US-Style?

標題: Taiwan's Public Policy Education: US-Style?
作者: Kuo, Yu Ying; Kuo Nai Ling
摘要: Public administration and public policy education have been studied or compared all over the world. This article explores Taiwan public policy education by examining the public policy course design of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs of school members of the Taiwan Association for Schools of Public Administration and Affairs (TASPAA). This article attempts to explore: 1) the development of public policy education, 2) the curricular design, and 3) US influence on Taiwan public policy education. The research findings show that undergraduate programs pay particular attention to the relationship between public administration and politics, economics, sociology, and law and between public administration and public management. Training in using technical tools and communication skills for policy analysis is in general underprovided. Nevertheless, MPA programs significantly match the NASPAA master's standards. Management knowledge, applications of policy analysis tools, and institutional factors of public policy are in general sufficiently provided. Doctoral programs emphasize the importance of public policy education since public policy is listed as one of the required courses in almost every doctoral program. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Pursuing Revenue Autonomy or Playing Politics? Fiscal Behaviour of Local Governments in Taiwan

摘要: This paper critically accounts for why fiscal decentralization does not necessarily enhance revenue autonomy in the experience of Taiwan, as local governments do not pursue it. This experience is especially relevant to unitary countries that are undergoing both democratization and fiscal decentralization. This paper shows that, with inter-jurisdictional competition, democratically elected local governments are inclined to pursue tax harmonization and have little incentive to maximize taxing powers even though doing so increases own-source revenues. The local governments in Taiwan take a 'mini-max' fiscal strategy, which involves minimizing changes to own-source revenues while maximizing local expenditures. To finance increasing expenditures as a response to the demands of constituencies, local governments tend to press the central government to increase local government's tax bases, and to try to gain a greater share of intergovernmental transfers by having their administrative status upgraded. In summary, revenue autonomy is not being pursued by local governments because of political considerations. In a decentralized fiscal system, local governments can be fiscally accountable, but still irresponsible. © 2013 National Council of the Institute of Public Administration Australia.
