| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 政治研究所 === 101 === There is a worldwide trend of inviting private sector to provide public infrastructure jointly with the governments. Taiwan has practiced accordingly in the past decade and experienced diverse results that help accumulating valuable lessons regarding the maintenance of accountability in such public-private partnership. This study focuses on the case of privatizing a precious mountain railway system in Taiwan to examine why a theoretically promising policy would eventually turn to a disaster. This research indicates how essential factors in local politics may overwhelm policy arena, more specifically Environmental Impact Assessment, to ruin synergy pursued via cooperation among private capital, agency of central government, and local government.
