碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 政治學研究所 === 93 === The electoral system has already become the important foundation of modern democratic politics; the following one is to expand political participation day by day. Democratic theories have attended the political participation of the masses in the past, which is to say that the discussions of electoral right and meaning, so that candidate qualification have not been discuss clearly. There is a delicate relation of political participation between political equal in candidate qualifications: The candidate qualification is set up to ensure the equal of political participation？ Or causes the unequal participation? Those questions are not easy to say. This thesis thinks that the various degree candidate qualifications will have make different meaning of poltical participation and political equality, and it reflects different democratic meaning too, even improving the qualification is a result of authoritarian regimes. Because it lacked to research candidate qualifications in the past, this thesis attempted to be the first visited study of candidate qualifications. So two research face in this thesis: First, designing the model of candidate qualifications, political participate and political equality as distinguishing the index, and annotating the meaning of candidate qualifications under the democratic system or authoritarian regimes. Second, the case study of Taiwan: studying on the change of candidate qualifications and analyzing the qualifications of sex and academic background by that former model in this thesis. Finally, I believe it can reinterpretation and confer democracy by the studying on the change of candidate qualification.
