Political Opportunity Structures in the Process of Immigration Policy-Making: A
Comparison between Taiwan and South Korea


摘要 

本次移地研究的田野工作規劃主要分為兩部分,第一部分希望能實地造訪長期關懷韓國移工政策,甚至是有實際參與政策制定過程經驗的單位。擬拜訪名單如表一所示,除了有移民政策研究院、地域移民政策發展研究所等政策智庫外,也希望能接觸長期致力於移民權利倡議的相關人權或福祉組織,從而理解公民社會會是如何看待各部會,又是如何與之互動來爭取韓國移工的權益。至於第二部分則會以和專家學者的訪談為主,筆者依照研究專長和相關經歷將預計邀訪的名單列於表二,多數專家不僅有大量關於韓國移民政策的研究著作,還具有實際參與過政策制定或諮詢的經驗。因此筆者希望能夠透過接觸與拜訪這些學者,更完整地了解政策的演變與各部會的立場。這部分的訪談由於多數學者皆有相當程度的英文溝通能力,因此筆者會以英文來進行。

Rethinking the relationship and technology governance between the
Chinese Communist Party government and Platform enterprise:A case
study of Alibaba Taocaicai before and after Covid-19


摘要 

在新冠疫情爆發之前,阿里巴巴因集團大數據和演算法在市場的壟斷影響力,遭到中共政府的審查。不僅如此隨著新冠疫情逐漸嚴峻,阿里巴巴更需應對物流方面受阻的困窘挑戰。然而,儘管存在這些巨大障礙與挑戰,阿里巴巴仍試圖展現企業非凡的韌性,於疫情期間推出了集團新型電子商務服務—淘菜菜,並以此協助政府進行物資配送及採購農產品等政企協作項目計畫。因此,本研究以淘菜菜做為研究案例,探討新冠疫情前後中共與生鮮電商平台企業間的互動關係與政策治理的動態變化,藉此填補學界關於疫情前後平台科技企業與中共政府間政商關係互動變化的文獻缺口。本文主要研究問題為探討有別於非新冠疫情的正常時期,中共政商關係由政治凌駕經濟之上,僅以國家權力主導,企業作為輔助的單向觀點,而在新冠疫情的非正常時期,中共政府與平台公司之間的互動關係是否較符合雙向的二元互動模型。因此,本研究採用阿里巴巴集團檔案、新聞資料及中共發布政策作為次級資料分析,同時也以半結構訪談法,作為了解新冠疫情前後中國大陸政企關係的變化。本研究認為,儘管中共對阿里巴巴平台企業祭出嚴峻反壟斷措施,但於新冠疫情的非正常時期,阿里巴巴儼然發展成為輔助中共政府疫情下,政經社會穩定的關鍵組成部分,同時新冠疫情過後,中共的政治決策也尚未完全凌駕於平台企業在市場經濟領域的影響力。

The Politics of Transition Finance in Japan:
Understanding the Background and Motivations for its
Policy Adoption


摘要 

Transition finance supports greening hard-to-abate sectors, like heavy industries,which are historically challenging to include in environmental finance. In 2022, Japan decided to issue 20 trillion Yen (approx. USD 130 billion) in transition bonds over a decade, becoming the first nation to use such bonds as sovereign debt instruments.
However, the global sovereign market still prefers green bonds due to lower greenwashing risks, and this Japanese transition finance has been criticized internationally due to their possibility of greenwashing. Although the Japanese green bond market has been growing since 2017, why did Japan choose transition bonds as the primary policy, knowing they are criticized due to the possibility of greenwashing instead
of green bonds?
This paper explores this question through secondary data from 2017 to 2024 and interviews using the process tracing method. Drawing on political economy, developmental state, and green economic diplomacy theories, it divides the governmental agency and private sectors into pro-developmental and pro-environmental actors to argue the distributive politics between them shaped the policy outcome. To address the
argument above, this paper prepared three hypotheses, which are an inter-ministerial compromise to competition fostered by political leadership, the strong influence of industrial organizations, and strategic foreign policy toward Asia. This study contributes by examining the Japanese case to understand the motivations and processes driving the development of transition finance markets, which are gradually gaining momentum, particularly in Asia. It also provides new insights into political economy, developmental state theory, and green economic diplomacy.
