Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 政治學研究所 === 98 === For the modern democratic countries, all limitations on exercise of a state’s right are stipulated in its written constitution in order to protect the people’s rights from being infringed, and, the Judicial Review is the most important institution to make the spirit of the Constitution come true. According to the Constitution of the Republic of China, the Council of Grand Justices is the supreme and sole constructionist. They are vested with the authority to shoulders the heavy responsibilities of safeguard and support of the constitutional system.
Taiwan is a “islands and islets” country, its political history is very special and unique, and, that is why the democratic consolidation of Taiwan deserved to be studied and researched. Democratic consolidation is a highly used but confused concept. Whether the concept can be elaborated into a more comprehensive theory in the field of the politics is still an issue. With the development of democratization, in 2000, party rotation has taken us into a new time. Even though the variety of national culture and the more democratic society reveal the achievement of democratization in Taiwan, but there are still many problems of political system and human rights.
Every country has its own unique political background, history and culture, therefore, the design of the Judicial Review is different, and the role of the Judicial Review during the times of the democratic consolidation of Taiwan is also different. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss and analyze the situation about the democratic consolidation of Taiwan closely based on those theories concerning democratic consolidation and Judicial Review, in the hope of making some contributions to further relevant studies of the democratic consolidation of Taiwan and future the deepening of democracy.
