This thesis applies the historical-structural approach to study rice industry of the development in Taiwan and stat role how to change. We through the influence cause and structure by whole international and internal circumstance, political economics, and social factors during the transferring process of rice industry after the government of R.O.C. moved to Taiwan in 1949¡Athis thesis based on the production and sale of the rice policy changing in four different and sequential stages, which is used to examine the four stages at the relationship among state¡Brice farmers and unofficial agricultural sectors in development of Taiwan Rice Industry, and also explores what kind of pressures will influence the state¡¦s role.

The method of my thesis is "historical document analysis" whose major line is dependency theory of Marxism which I will pick up famous scholar's books or journals within. Dependency theory of Marxism consists of underdevelopment school and dependent development school. The former has A. G. Frank, T. Dos Santos and Samir Amin etc.. The latter has F. H. Cardoso, E. Faletto, Peter B. Evans, J. A Caporaso and R. H. Chilcote etc.. Dependency theory of Structuralism which is a complement to dependency theory of Marxism has Raúl Prebisch, Celso Furtado and Osvaldo Sunkel. As to state development's research of dependency theory, it includes three parts: origins, schools and prospection. First part is origins. The academic thinking of dependency theory which is one of theories about researches of colonialism and imperialism in the 1960s follows Marxism's foundation¢w¢wi.e. productivity and productive relations. Though, dependency theory on the sphere of international relation belongs to a pan-Marxism family¢w¢was is neo-Marxism. However, Marx himself also ever declared that he wasn't a Marxist, namely, that researchers who follow Marx only take a part of Marx's intelligence, not all¢w¢weven distort that. So, the first step to understand economic asymmetry relations between peripheral and central state is back to the tradition of classical Marxism¢w¢wnamely, Marx's, Lenin's and Engel's intelligence¢w¢wand searches origins of dependency theory about peripherial state. Second part is schools which follow so-called "Two Stages" of Classical dependency and Dependent development theory. In first stage, it will begin to analyse United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA) school's views and turns to underdevelopment school's views. From this kind of analysis, we can understand underdevelopment school's critique of ECLA school and innovation. For these management, the thesis will be written with "inside" and "outside" relations. Before that, I will elaborate illumination of P. Baran, P. Sweezy and Prebisch on Frank's peripheral state. In second one, the thesis begines with Cardoso's, Faletto's, Caporaso's and Chilcote's views about historical-structural approach in order to emphasize methodical changes from Classical dependency theory to Dependent development theory, and show state's development problems affected by inner classes and transnational companies with Evans' "triple alliance". The last part is prospection. Dependency theory gets rise from 1950s. As time goes by, the methodology of dependency theory doesn't satisfy with academic researches in the age of globalization. So the thesis will dig out the value which is that dependency theory can countine to criticize the unfair structure of capitalism in the age of globalization from new researches of dependency theory's scholars which include dependency theory of Marxism and Structuralism.

近年來，中國大陸的威權政體轉型發展倍受矚目，尤其是台灣威權政體轉型至民主化過程的經驗能否借鑑於中國大陸，一直廣受學界的熱烈討論。本文採用結合宏觀的歷史結構理論與微觀的菁英策略抉擇論，提出影響政體轉型的因素有：經濟的發展、中產階級的崛起、外部因素、選舉的開放、統治者合法性危機的產生、菁英策略的互動抉擇，以及社會運動的發展等，來檢視台灣與中國大陸威權政體轉型發展的異同性。發現採用這些影響政體轉型的因素來探討台灣的政體轉型，是有利於台灣的政體轉型，亦驅動台灣的政體從威權轉型至民主。相對於中國大陸而言，雖然有這些政體轉型的因素產生，但是中國大陸政體發展至目前為止，仍然還沒完成其政體轉型，發現其結果乃是因為這些轉型的關鍵因素缺乏關鍵節點產生作用力，去驅動政體轉型，所以導致中國大陸有轉型的因素產生，卻沒有驅動其政體完成轉型。但是本文的研究結果仍然對於中國大陸的政體轉型抱持著樂觀的看法，尤其是中國大陸面對日漸增長的經濟發展，其政體的轉型是會採漸進發展的。並且在未來中國大陸如果能夠對於黨內民主的推行加強、提升選舉的競爭功能，以及減緩中共內部的權力鬥爭的改善，對於中國大陸的政體轉型是可以期待的。
