河南《邓州台湾土番垦屯陈氏家乘》考辨

在河南邓州“台湾村”发现的《邓州台湾土番垦屯陈氏家乘》,记载了清初海峡两岸一段鲜为人知的故事。本文通过对该家乘所记史实等内容的考证,证明其并非清同治年间所修,应属现代作品。但是,本文并不否认降清的郑成功所部中有个别祖籍台湾的“土番”兵勇。因此,本文对这一家乘考证的意义不仅在于辨其真伪,而且还在于由此展开了清季海峡两岸人员互动关系的一个新视野。

台湾地区农民专业合作组织的发展及其对福建的启示

台湾地区在农业产业化过程中,通过转变农业经营模式,扩大了经营规模,使农业经营走向企业化和专业化。通过发展农民专业合作组织,降低了农民在市场竞争中的风险,提高了农民的谈判地位和利益保护能力,最终达到了增加农民收入的目的。福建与台湾地区具有"五缘"(地缘相近、血缘相亲、文缘相承、商缘相连、法缘相循)的独特优势,在福建省委提出建设海峡西岸经济区的战略构想和闽台农业试验区扩大到全省的背景下,两岸农业合作的平台更加广大,台湾地区发展农民专业合作组织的做法对福建发展农民专业合作组织更加具有借鉴意义。     

Labor force participation and juvenile delinquency in Taiwan: a time series analysis

This study examines the null hypothesis of Granger no-causality between labor force participation (LFP) and juvenile delinquency in Taiwan. In order to explore this issue more thoroughly, this study adopts the approach proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995, Journal of Econometrics, 66(1–2), 225–250). It uses official time-series data provided by the Government of Taiwan. After estimating both a four- and five-variable VAR system, one that substitutes both male and female LFP rates for the aggregate LFP rate, the primary findings of this study reveal the following: The higher the past juvenile crime rate, the lower the future aggregate and female LFP rate will be. In addition, the higher the past male LFP rate, the higher the future juvenile crime rate will be. These findings are quite robust in terms of different lag-length structures.

A new tool for urban governance or just rhetoric? The case of participatory budgeting in Taipei City

Increasing interest in participatory budgeting has been observed in local governments around the world. This paper stresses direct citizen participation in the budgeting process leads to good governance, deepens democracy and improves social justice, while also highlighting some challenges in its efficiency and effectiveness. Unlike participatory budgeting, the Sub-borough Chiefs Forum is a community-based representative democratic mechanism; it could be regarded as a form of participatory budgeting in a broad sense. If so, then did the Taipei programme simply duplicate the goals of the Forum or lead to a better governance by making up for the inadequacies of the Chiefs Forum? To find out whether the Taipei participatory budgeting programme made a difference, we carried out qualitative and quantitative comparisons of projects passed under the participatory budgeting process and at the Forum. We also interviewed several participatory budgeting participants and sub-borough chiefs. The findings suggested that participatory budgeting and the Forum generated different proposals and budget requests, and the Taipei programme supplemented the shortcomings of the Forum and therefore led to deeper civic engagement and better urban governance.     

Transnational queer sociological analysis of sexual identity and civic‐political activism in Hong Kong,Taiwan and mainland China

The sociology of homosexuality lacks engagement with queer theory and postcolonialism and focuses primarily on the global metropoles, thus failing to provide a plausible account of non‐Western non‐normative sexual identities. This research adopts the author’s newly proposed transnational queer sociology to address these deficiencies. First, it critiques the Western model of sexual identity predominantly employed to elucidate non‐Western, non‐normative sexualities. It does so by examining not only the queer flows between West and non‐West but also those among and within non‐Western contexts to produce translocally shared and mutually referenced experiences. Second, the proposed approach combines sociology with queer theory by emphasizing the significant role of material, as well as discursive, analyses in shaping queer identities, desires and practices. This article employs the approach to examine young gay male identities, as revealed in 90 in‐depth interviews conducted in Hong Kong (n = 30), Taiwan (Taipei, n = 30) and mainland China (Shanghai, n = 30) between 2017 and 2019. More specifically, it highlights the interplay between the state and identity by investigating the intersection and intertwining effects of these young men’s sexual and cultural/national identities, revealing three different forms of civic‐political activism. The article both demonstrates the way in which sexuality and the state are mutually constituted and provides nuanced analysis of the heterogeneity of contemporary homosexualities in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China. In applying a new sociological approach to understanding sexuality, this research joins the growing body of scholarship within sociology that is decentring the Western formation of universal knowledge.     

The New Spatial Planning Act in Taiwan: A Messy Shift from Economic Development-Oriented Planning to Environmental Conservation-Oriented Planning?

On 18 December 2015, the spatial planning bill was finally passed by the Legislative Yuan in Taiwan. That was a special moment for planning community and authority since they had anticipated this moment for more than two decades. However, this is not the end of the story. On the contrary, the battle between the economic development promoters and environmental conservation supporters just starts. The Act introduces several new changes to secure its goal of nationwide sustainable development, but the introduction also raises some tensions. This article reviews the tensions and their socio-political context, and gives some suggestions to the Taiwanese government.

清代移民与台湾食盐贸易制度化

清廷统一台湾后,随着移民的涌入,政府对台湾控制不断加强。清廷以政权的力量在台湾制造了食盐商品的特定市场,使食盐贸易由原先的物物交换转化为专卖形式。政府力图通过食盐专卖收取饷银,解决军饷及财政支出。台湾食盐贸易的制度化,其实是台湾内地化进程的重要表现,政府通过这一过程将台湾纳入有效的管理体系中。
