Abstract
In 2000, with the passing of the Offshore Islands Development Act, Taiwan’s offshore islands spatial policy was integrated as an independent category. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the situational predicament of the offshore islands through a discussion of their policy evolution since 2000. This thesis attempts to explain the development background and the social context of offshore islands policies by looking into three aspects: organizations involved, the evaluation process, and resource distribution. Since fairness and equity are primary policy objectives, the author employs Deborah A. Stone’s systemic dispute-assignment viewpoints to analyze the implementation of the policy. The research outcome shows that the declared objectives of fairness were not attained in the actual process of resource distribution. The key discovery in this analysis is the differences in the discourse regarding fairness, corresponding to the socio-political contexts at the time. Actions taken in resource distribution reflect directly on situational understandings of these contexts.
