Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 勞工研究所 === 88 === Facing the great change in technology, economy, society and culture, which is developing and complicated in the last two decades, academics have come to the consensus that the late-twentieth capitalism, quite different from the past in appearance and nature, can be pictured and represented with the term globalization. It can also be employed further to investigate different dimensions of the restructuring process within, e. g. the impact and influence of economic globalization on the state, also the starting point of this research.
In this light, economic globalization was addressed as the external environment of economic development in Taiwan, propagating major politic and economic issues. The moving out of domestic capital to Southern-east Asia and mainland China had caused dramatic change of economic structure and labor market in Taiwan, resulting the supply-demand imbalance of labor market and the lack of basic non-technique labor. Based on the approach of politic-economics, this research explored the role, the behavior, the nature and the independence status of the state in the economic flow through the analysis of Taiwan’s foreign labor policy.
The conclusion revealed that, when globalization and Asia-Pacific regionalization come to a rudiment in late 1980s, the introduction of foreign labor and involvement of Asia-Pacific labor exchange system in Taiwan prove Overbeek''s point: “The tendency is toward a single global labor market and the way in which globalization fosters regionalization. The logic of the global economic restructuring (liberalization, flexibilization) forces the state''s acceptance of relatively high levels of foreign labor policy.” Nevertheless, a closer inspection of code revision, policy meaning, and past open measurements showed that, despite the autonomy and capacity of the state were endangered under globalization, the state of Taiwan can still enlarge and encompass the growing economic interest within state''s interest. In this way, the state will be able to practice its capacity and autonomy in the dilemma between economic growth and the burden of social cost, and furthermore to concern and maintain it''s own interest during the globalization process.
