First of all, we aim at improving the excellence of our teaching, research, academic reputation and the international proportion of teachers and students measured against the School of Politics and International Relations of the Australian National University. We will be renowned for the quality of the contribution we made to the field of political science as Taiwan representative. Second, we integrate our research teams and resources to study four urgent and critical thematic agendas for Taiwan’s democratic regime. They are the quality of governance, the legitimacy of democracy, the threats from authoritarian regimes and the efficacy of public governance. We will bring better results to the practical problems of daily political governance in our public life. Last but not the least, we are committed to the institutionalization of excellent teaching and research through international cooperation, networking and education. We will realize our plan of excellence through four pioneering agendas of teaching and research. Based on the established research centers, each of our agendas will be re-programed according to the new research objectives. For example, we will reorganize our research teams and resources, reframe the new sub-topics and indicators and meet the new requirements. On the one hand, we will contribute the experiences of Taiwan to the international communities. And we will also learn from our international counterparts on the other hand. While our focus is Taiwan, our horizons are global. Modern Western democratic regimes are undergoing the profound challenges in the post-Western era. The outbreak of covid-19 has made it even worse. The core issue facing all democratic regimes is how to balance the democratic values in the fights against this pandemic in an appropriate way. This is not only about the sustainability of democracy, but also related to the competition from authoritarianism. Through the above-mentioned goals and strategies, we believe that Taiwan and our plan for excellence serve the best interests of our community, the environment, our nation and the world."
