The years 1861 to 1921 witnessed the development of contacts between the labour movements of Britain and the United States. Scottish socialists, trade unionists and social reformers contributed to this activity. Transatlantic labour co-operation began in Scotland in the 1860s when the Civil War in the USA provoked an intense public discussion of American society. This interest was further stimulated by the accounts of emigrants to the republic and, in particular, by the views of Alexander McDonald, leader of the miners' union. The establishment of ties between the mining communities of Scotland and American, via an emigration scheme and through McDonald's lecture tours, inaugurated a period of American influence on the Scottish labour movement. Left-wing reactions in the United States to the growth of capitalism from the 1880s to the First World War furnished sections of this movement with a series of organisational models. Socialist and reform theories, forged in a country which was industrialising at a furious pace, were transmitted to Britain where Scots transformed them for their own purposes. Beginning with the ideas of Henry George, and closely followed by those of the Knights of Labor, these concepts advanced the cause of socialism within the Scottish labour movement. This process culminated with the experiments of the Scottish De Leonists. They instituted the Socialist Labour Party of Great Britain in the image of Daniel De Leon's American SLP and, following the birth in Chicago of the Industrial Workers of the World, brought the theory of industrial unionism to Scotland. De Leonism played an important role in the rise of socialism on Clydeside in the early years of the twentieth century until the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, and the growing mass appeal of the Labour Party, heralded the decline of transatlantic socialist unity.

For the first time, substantial change took place on the traditional political system of the aboriginal tribe in Taiwu Hsiang, Pingtung County during the Japanese Occupancy Period when it accepted the political operation of the Japanese police. Secondly, after Taiwan was restored by the National Government, the democratic politics was taken into effect. The KMT Party attained their object to take control of the Taiwu Hsiang by way of the election and eroded and disintegrated the basis of its traditional political system. The research of this thesis strives to explore the local politics of the aboriginal tribes in Taiwu Hsiang in terms of the historical development of the aboriginal tribe¡¦s participation in politics in Taiwu Hsiang, its internal and external environment. This thesis is mainly composed of five special articles on ¡§Research on the political participation of the Aboriginal Tribes, Taking Taiwu Hsiang for Example¡¨. Its focus is concurrently put on historical and future way of thinking; its scope of dissertation includes as possibly as it can the traditional and modern development of the political participation in Taiwu Hsiang and all subject matters of the relevant topic research. Chapter I is an introduction, discussing the research motivation of this thesis, the research objective, the research scope, and the research method and structure. Chapter II concerns ¡§the historical development of the political participation in Taiwu Hsiang¡¨, designed to understand the historical development and change of the Taiwu Hsiang aboriginal tribe¡¦s participation in politics all the way from the Japanese Occupancy Period through the time when the martial restriction was released in Taiwan up to date.
