Democratization and bureaucratic restructuring in Taiwan

Taiwan has been moving toward democracy, with a dramatic transition taking place in the past decade. Critical to this transition is a restructuring of the relationship between the state bureaucracy and society. This study focuses on democratization's effect on Taiwan's bureaucracy. In particular, it seeks to examine such aspects of bureaucratic transformation as bureaucratic decisionmaking, legislative-bureaucratic politics, interest group-bureaucratic relations, the expansion of local autonomy, and civil service reform. This study finds that the bureaucratic state is facing a great challenge from political, legislative, and societal forces. The old type of insulated bureaucratic planning and decision making is no longer possible, the bureaucracy is losing its KMT patrons, and bureaucrats are finding themselves answerable to political pressure, legislative oversight, and interest group lobbying. While the bureaucracy has lost its previous level of discretion in terms of macro-management and the formulation of developmental policies, the bureaucratic state has not withered away.

His recent publications are on issues of democratization in Taiwan and China.

Growth Disparity in China: Provincial causes

The strategic shift of central government policy from equitable economic growth to the open door policy with an emphasis on coastal development in 1978 has resulted in uneven regional growth in China. The most noticeable growth disparity is between the coastal and inland provinces. This article seeks to identify the uneven growth of regional economies and to investigate provincial causes of such interprovincial variations in growth in the post-Mao era. This study develops a local reform-driven perspective to account for an unequal growth pattern in Jiangxi and Fujian. It finds that discrepancies in leadership role and ability to establish growth policy and strategies are the key variables in explaining the dissimilar pace of development. Such growth policy and strategies account for differences in restructuring in the local economy from centrally-planned to market-conforming, variations in creating new comparative advantages of the acquired kind, and different levels of marketization and non-state sector growth.

免疫磁珠法与差异裂解法检验混合样本的效果观察

目的分析应用免疫磁珠分离技术和差异裂解法对混合样本的DNA检验效果,评价其在法医学应用中的价值。方法制备含有不同数量精细胞与阴道上皮细胞混合悬液和植绒混合斑拭子,分别采用MOSPD3抗体、SPAG8抗体免疫磁珠法及差异裂解法对样本进行检验,观察分析不同比例的混合细胞悬液,以及不同保存时间植绒混合斑拭子DNA分型的正确率。结果当混合细胞悬液内精细胞与阴道上皮细胞比例约1∶10时,免疫磁珠法的正确率明显高于差异裂解法(P0.01);当比例等于或高于1∶1时,两种方法正确率的差异无显著性意义(P0.05)。植绒拭子混合斑的免疫磁珠法正确率明显低于差异裂解法(P0.01);随混合斑保存时间的延长,差异裂解法正确率无明显下降(P0.05)。结论免疫磁珠法适用于新鲜混合样本中精细胞的分离检验,且在精细胞含量较低时优势更明显,差异裂解法较适合陈旧混合斑的分离检验。
