碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 公共行政與政策學系 === 97 === Abstract In the 2008 presidential election race, Yingjeou Ma, the presidential nominee of Kuomintang, took advices from Vincent Siew, Ma’s vice presidential running mate, and proposed the campaign theme: Cross-Strait Common Market (CSCM). This theme was fiercely attacked by Frank Hsieh, the presidential nominee from Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and his party. In the final phase of the presidential election, the CSCM theme even became the focal argument for presidential candidates from both parties. In Taiwan, the deconstruction theories, proposed by Jacques Derrida, have not been utilized to analyze politics and public policies. This study first adopted the method of internal deconstruction and interpreted the CSCM theme with conventional means. The study then deconstructed the CSCM theme by utilizing five extensional perspectives: 1) regional economic integration; 2) political integration; 3) acknowledgement of China diploma; 4) labor work right protection; and 5) technology transfer and duplication. Finally, this study compared and contrasted the conventional means of the CSCM theme to the deconstructed products of the CSCM theme. This research method, unlike the empirical research method commonly adapted in most researches, is a cognitive method that emphasizes on the interpretation and understanding for the studied objective. Observation is the use of paradox and has a paradox nature. The true spirit of deconstruction rests on the paradox of a policy. Thus, we have to really pay attention to the contexts of a topic when we engage in analyzing post-structuralism and administrative studies. This is because different contexts can lead to confusing or even conflicting conclusions, and a deconstruction method is the perfect mean to evaluate possible contexts. Based on such logic, this study will illustrate different viewpoints for post-structuralism and administrative studies.
