碩士 === 國防大學 === 戰略研究所 === 101 === Poverty is the origin that hinders social improvements, weakens competitiveness, and makes a great influence on city governance. With the development of globalization, it is worth analyzing how poverty influences city governance. Since China executed the reform of open door policy and strongly promoted its planning economy strategy, it successfully built several cities as international cities in the world. However, China also suffered huge impacts made by poverty on urban development. Modern city governance emphasizes the important values of citizen participation and the cooperation of public and private institutions. Although Taiwan and China shared the same culture and ancestral origin, the influences caused by poverty on cities and policies made for citizen participation are quite different due to different political systems. Therefore, cross-strait cities adopt different poverty alleviation strategies. Both cross-strait non-governmental organizations have been well-experienced in cooperation with the cities to execute poverty alleviation policies. However, due to difference policies, backgrounds, resources, and laws, it is reasonable to expect individual features yielded by the poverty alleviation cases from the both parties. For those poverty alleviation policies executed by the cross-strait cities, it is very important to look up to the non-governmental organizations, who skillfully operate poverty alleviation strategies, and contribute to benefits and synergy contributed by the cross-field cooperation or the cooperation with public and private institutions, and citizen participation. This research aims to examine certain poverty alleviation cases, including assisting hobos who are excluded by the society because of urban economic changes, or the after-school consultation for students with low learning outcome due to their poor conditions, to investigate the current condition and strategies of cross-strait non-governmental organizations when assisting the cities to operate poverty alleviation policies. This thesis offers comparisons between cross-strait t non-governmental organizations on the cooperation with public and private institutions, and citizen participation, hoping to serve as great references and inspirations for those who show much concern for the poverty alleviation issues operated by cross-strait cities.
