The rural regeneration mechanisms derived mainly from“Rural Rejuvenation Act”have been implemented three years and deserve to review the effectiveness of its implementation. Following the debates about exogenous and endogenous development,“the third way”of rural development that stresses the interaction between the local and external forces in promoting the developmental processes is useful to understanding approaches of rural development. Adapting the viewpoint of the third way, this paper reviews the way of rural development in Taiwan, and examines rural regeneration mechanism in Taiwan. The results found that rural regeneration mechanism in Taiwan is broadly in line with“the third way”. The basic concept of the third way has been sharpened by the actor network theory (ANT). The paper conducts a case study in Gongrong community. The findings show that ANT is suitable for the regeneration process in Gongrong community. A good network operating promotes more successful rural development. However, there are many issues need more in-depth analysis and case studies to clearly examine that the existed regeneration mechanism is appropriate for Taiwan rural development
