| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 公共行政暨政策學系碩士在職專班 === 93 === Assembly and demonstration parades fall within the range wherein people can actualize freedom and their fundamental human rights protected by the Constitution. Assembly and demonstration also represent the measures through which people can appeal to and fight for their rights. Protests by the masses are virtually inevitable in a democratic society today. A politics-oriented mass protest casts an especially extensive impact and involves more intricate variables and crises during the process of settlement.
Where such varieties of mass protests emerge in an endless stream, the competent authorities of the government should of course act in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Besides, more importantly, they must build a set of systematic crisis management models by using crisis management related theories so that the constructive experiences accumulated will be continually carried on. They should set up a knowledge oriented management regime to enable members inside the organization to make the pooled intelligence into effective utilization, beef up competence in crisis management and, in turn, boost countermeasures against an emergency and innovative act. Through such efforts in combination, the competent authorities of the government should be able to tackle potential crises of mass protests which might emerge at any moment.
The present study adopts the three-phase mobile models in crisis management aiming at an analysis on the mass demonstrations in front of the Presidential Office Complex in the wake of the March 20, 2004 presidential election. The study is intended to probe into the crisis management adopted by the competent authorities of the government in the three-phase models, before, during and after the eruption of the mass demonstration, and the advantages and faults in the crisis management. The analysis conducted in the study will also cover the competent authorities of the government in the laws and regulations concerned and the mechanism adopted to deal with the mass demonstration. Accordingly, the study will offer handy proposals to settle mass demonstrations in the future.
This thesis consists of seven chapters. Chapter One provides the motivations behind the study, purposes, methodology, range, restriction and study frameworks. Chapter Two looks into theories and literature concerning crisis management. Chapter Three analyzes the structure of mass demonstration activities. Chapter Four relates the regimes, mechanism and relevant laws and regulations in the Republic of China regarding mass demonstrations. Chapter Five analyzes the situations of the mass protests in front of the Presidential Office in the wake of the March 20, 2004 presidential election.
