| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 社會學系 === 89 === This thesis concentrated on historical social interactions concerning legal operations between Dutch, Chinese, and aboriginal people at 17th century Formosa. By describing why Dutch side through a series force actions to form an alliance with aboriginal villages by cultural contrast, explained why Dutch authority had to make a feudal institutional frame (Landdag) at Formosa Island. In analyzing this historical situation, it could be traced back to encounter- experience between European and non-European people at early times. Such experience could be reduced to the core- recognition- problem about social order: natural law’s conceptions. The Paradox of natural law comes from a statement by which European believe social order outside Europe must by some way equal to European societies. In the mean time, if this statement couldn’t confirm by non-European people, it can’t claim itself valid within European societies. This paradox could be resolved only if non-European people decide to receipt a set of Natural law conceptions. This kind of civilization process isn’t come from violent discipline, but cultural transformation. This transformation should be rooted from native people’s cultural legitimization: that means their own civilization process, but enforced implantation. Dutch jury system at Zeelandia City (schepen) gave oversea Chinese citizen a chance to form their own municipal law based on Chinese recognition, even excelling traditional limitation. By this way, Chinese citizens created a new social order under Dutch legal instrument, and expand their own civilization process at the same time.
