政治學理中，將政黨定義為「具相同利益，以爭取政治權力為目標的團體」。政黨壟斷政治精英的甄補，藉由對公職候選人的提名競選以獲取權力。政治菁英透過黨公職歷練，形塑並推動黨綱的政治主張，並經由選舉取得政治權力。由此觀之，政黨菁英對政黨與政府決策發展、以及「認同政治」等研究議題而言，具有重要的關鍵影響力，也一直是重要的研究議題。 　　是故，那些人能為菁英？菁英如何獲取權位和政治權力？臺灣政治菁英的背景與甄補途徑，從威權至民主轉型以迄兩次政黨輪替至今又有何發展？本文嘗試從菁英理論出發，以國民黨籍第十四屆中常委至第十七屆中常委（1993-2008）為研究對象，藉由釐清民主化後至今的菁英甄補發展之脈絡，以分析國民黨籍菁英特質與甄補方式。 　　本文研究結果顯示，國民黨政治菁英甄補來源由早期黨職、公職選舉、考試、軍隊等四種途徑，隨本土化政策於1970年代轉變為本省籍技術官僚，至1986年民主化後在黨內權力鬥爭和在野黨競爭下，漸由民選政治菁英入主決策核心。政黨輪替後，國民黨中常會更由中央民代藉選舉實力及換票聯盟的運作而掌握多數席次，並漸有第二代繼承家族事業的發展趨勢。然而在菁英甄補來源日趨多元化的同時，其準黨國威權體制架構下的甄補機制民主化程度依然有限，促使國民黨將持續推動後續的改革。 / The political Elites obtain the power by elections through promoting the political opinion of the party platform and operation of the leading factor and national development. The Importance of the Elites has been an important research issue. Therefore, who will be the Elite? How do the elites take the power? What is the development of the elites of Taiwan from the authoritarian regime to now? Rested on the theories of Elite Recruitment. The thesis try to explore and analysis the background of the member and the recruitment mechanism of the members of the Kuomintang central committee form 14th to 17th (1993-2008). After The Party Transformation, the KMT legislators gain the most committee seats by their strength of electing and strategic alliance. There also have a transition within Political Family, However, as the more pluralism the member was, the demarcations of internal-party and the mechanism of recruitment wa insufficiency, by the way , the democratically reform of KMT both the mechanism of internal election and recruitment is necessary.
