| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 法律學系 === 99 === Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is a measure to produce regulation and construct legal environment. The aim is to improve quality of regulation through assessing potential impacts of regulatory costs and benefits of a new regulation. RIA reveals costs and benefits to affected parties, collect feedbacks, and make decisions upon the most appropriated means or regulation. This paper examines the development of RIA, and introduces Policy Evaluation System in Japan to serve as a reference for legal operation of RIA. Chapter 2 presents the background information of regulatory impact assessment introduced in administrative law, and contextualizes historical development of regulatory impact assessment system in regulatory countries. It attempts to situate RIA in legal system of Taiwan. Chapter 3 discusses the significance and methods of policy evaluation system under the framework of new public management to pave the way for introducing Policy Evaluation System in Japan. Chapter 4 introduces the Policy Evaluation System in Japan which is a product of new public management theory, and is subject to governmental reorganization and transparency of governmental policy. However, these parts are beyond the scope of this study, which focuses on the evaluation system before introducing a new policy and its complementary measures of regulatory impact assessment. Chapter 5 presents interviews with legal personnel in Taipei City Council to further understand actual practices of RIA as Taipei City Council is outstanding in its implementation. Chapters 6 and 7 offer suggestions on implementation of RIA in Taiwan from the lessons of OECD countries and Policy Evaluation System in Taiwan.
