碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 政治學研究所 === 99 === The regulatory governance network of Taiwan immigration intermediary involves diverse actors. The author attempts to explore the measures adopted by the regulatory governance network of Taiwan immigration intermediaries and to conduct an integrated analysis between theories and practices in the field of the public affairs. This study intends to achieve the following: (1) To explore the development background of the policy enactment for regulatory immigration intermediaries, and the evolution of relevant regulatory regulations (2) To analyze the stakeholders of the governance network of immigration intermediary regulatory policy, their networks and their influences in policy enactment. (3) To explore the performance and accountability of immigration intermediary regulatory policy, and to define whether it is an effective solution on consumer protection. The study found that present regulatory rules are prohibited passively and lacking positive provisions. The policy was designed to be preventive not constructive. People governed by the rules are passively comply with the government policy and doubtful with its physical performance. As the horizontal connections of relevant government departments are passive, the outcome of network governance cannot be well-developed. The immigration intermediary regulatory policy was made without public participation and monitor mechanism. Therefore, consumers are forced to accept the service and price provided arbitrarily by immigration intermediary companies. Despite its poor performance, the immigration intermediary regulatory policy would not stop instantly because of the difficulty of performance evaluation and the public pay no attention at all. Policy recommendations: immigration intermediary regulatory policy should be led in industry self-regulatory mechanism. Getting rid of preventive way of thinking, the competent authority should strengthen its network management capability, public participation, and increase the decision rationality, information transparency, so as to facilitate the choices of consumers of immigration intermediary companies.
