Abstract
Governments around the world are eager to improve the national develop- ment by rapid exchange of capital, knowledge and technique. In recent years, Taiwan government has been implementing a series of policies to upgrade inter- national competitiveness. The Executive Yuan set up the Task Force for Creating an International Living Environment (CILE) since 2008, which comprises a Minister without Portfolio as chairperson, deputy ministers and experts as members, and 5 subordinate divisions. The main purpose of this task force is to integrate authorities concerned to create a better international living environment.
Using “agency” as the unit of analysis, this study explores factors that influence the operational process of CILE through collecting relevant regulations and official documents, interviewing officials in the institutions, and observing the planning and implementation of policies. According to the research findings, the performances varied from subordinate divisions, and the influential factors include agenda type, frequency of meeting, stability of member’s tenure, and the attendance of members from government agencies. In addition, the angencies’ motive for participating CILE include coordination cost, predominance, and political support.
Suggestions of this study are listed. In the short run, CILE should (1) focus on core missions, (2) convene meeting more frequently, (3) authorize members to set agenda, and (4) enhance supervision and evaluation mechanism. In the long run, (5) the Vice Premier shall serve as the chairperson, and CILE should (6) evaluate the performance periodically and (7) promote local participation. In the future research, this study suggests to (8) introduce external vision to evaluate comprehensive performance, (9) analyze political factors, and (10) reorganize the task-forces established by the Executive Yuan in accordance with their perfor- mances for adapting social change.
