Abstract
This study attempts to use the three models of decision-making developed by Graham Allison and Philip Zelikow to examine whether the decision-making process fits in one or more of the three models in the enactment, implementation and evolution processes of the “Mini Three Links” policy, to explain the preferences of the central and local government by integrating three theoretical schools, as well as to explore the enlightenment of the preliminary experience of “mini three links” to the future “three links”. Based on a literature review, field survey and in-depth interviews, there are six findings: 1) Change patterns from “quality” to “quantity” can be supplementary to explain the influences of “Mini Three Links” of Jinmen and Matsu; 2) Decision process theory has different applications on explanations in different stages; 3) Functionalism and Neo- Functionalism of integrative theories can prove the differences of preferences of the central and local governments; 4) the Functionalism and the Neo-Functionalism of the Theory of Integration can prove the bias between local governments and central government; 5) Thread of national security can not be fully testified from the policies of “Mini Three Links；and 6) Policies of “Mini Three Links” and “Three Links” will be developed in “spill-over effect” towards an internationally unique integration model.
