Taiwan’s government has put many efforts on promoting fiscal transparency during the past decade, as we can see the results of transparency reforms in many evaluation literatures. Nevertheless, the “benefits” seem to be not even significant. What counts for the gap between theory and reality? This study argues that the reason could be the definition of fiscal transparency. Currently, many countries including Taiwan adopt international standards of fiscal transparency as the guidelines for their fiscal transparency reforms. These standards are important for sure, but they seldom concern about citizens. Citizens are in general ignorant about government’s budget or fiscal affairs, and publishing technical fiscal reports simply cannot help understanding. Therefore, this study proposes to develop a citizen-centered fiscal transparency approach. Doing so may help explaining why the gap exists between theories and realities in existing literature. It is also helpful in enhancing public accountability, as well as democratic governance. By using literature analysis, focus group interviews, AHP analysis, semi-structured interviews, this study will develops a citizen-centered fiscal transparency framework. Then this study will use the framework to assess the fiscal transparency practices for the central and municipal governments. This is to determine the gap between the information suppliers (the government) and the information demanders (the public).財政透明度民主治理課責fiscal transparencydemocratic governanceaccountability新進教師學術研究計畫-政治系-郭乃菱
