當代的治理論述若持續侷限在以行政觀點為主軸的治理論述中，將會是對落實善治理想的不利條件與危機來源。但這並不表示治理就是一個不值得被討論的概念，事實上，現行治理理論的價值在於，它補充了韋伯官僚制論述中較被忽略的公民社會力量的部份。 在韋伯的理想政治運作計畫中，只有議會或是民選政治家具有可以同時和官僚以及公民社會溝通的機會，也只有民選政治家擁有政治溝通的權力與責任，而官僚及其管理對象，也就是公民社會之間的交流則不成為韋伯考量的重點。也因為此點，韋伯的官僚制論述被後來的行政理論詮釋成為政治與行政截然二分的論點，產生了傳統官僚制的弊病。 在治理的觀點中，政治代表的是一個社群對於未來方向的集體決定過程，政治的責任不應該有任何一個實際的參與者能夠卸下，無論是官僚體系內的公務人員或是民間社會中的平民百姓。治理理論擴大了自韋伯以降的精英民主論觀點，政治不再是精英的意志能否貫徹的問題，而是如何在當代多元化社會場景的實況下，完成各方力量的整合協調出一致對策，這點可以從治理理論非常重視第三部門在公共政策形成過程中扮演的角色中得到驗證。 盱衡當前台灣政治社會，民間社會力除了必須突破過去威權統治所遺留的枷鎖，還必須主動給予官僚制指引與監督，將行政體系予以社會化，為行政與社會透過第三部門互動的機制找到其正當性的來源。 / Abstract It will be crises to make a society step into the “good governance” stage if the modern governance theory still confined in the public administration theoretical perspective. But it doesn’t means the modern governance theory is valueless to be discussed. In fact, the modern governance theory stressed on the role of civil society in the governance situation, and which was ignored by Max Weber’s bureaucracy theory. In Weber’s opinion, only the member of parliament could have the chance to communicate with the civil society and bureaucracy, and only the member of parliament have the power to take the responsibility of political communication. Later the public administration theory interpreted Weber’s viewpoint as “the separation of politics and administration theory” and made the traditional bureaucracy become a trouble maker. In the viewpoint of governance theory, what politics represents will be a community for the future direction of the collective decision-making process, no one should not unload the political responsibility actual, whether public servants within the bureaucracy or in civil society civilians. The governance theory expanded the elite democracy theory, the problematics of politics is no longer the question how political elite will carry out their wills, but how to integrate the pluralistic political ideology into one coordinated consensus. This may take the Third Sector from the governanace theory to obtain the confirmation in the role which in the community policy forming process acts. Looking at the current Taiwan's political society, civil society must break the force in addition to the legacy of past authoritarian rule chains, but also must take the initiative to give guidance and supervision of bureaucracy, then the administrative system will be socialized, as administrative and social interaction through the mechanism of the Third Sector to find its source of legitimacy
