永無止盡選戰與民主治理:民意調查對台灣地方政府治理運作影響之研究 / Permanent Campaign and Democratic Governance : An Exploratory Study of Public Opinion Polls’ Influence on Taiwanese Local Governance

我國行政院在1982年即訂定《行政院所屬各機關民意調查作業要點》,透過社會科學研究方法的運用,瞭解相關人員對政府施政之意見,以作為政策研擬、評估及提升服務品質與機關內部管理等之參考。隨著1987年宣布解嚴,以及後續政黨政治、公職選舉、媒體發展等等因素,使得民意調查的應用更為廣泛,並且成為台灣民主政治發展歷程中相當重要的一環。同一時期,Sidney Blumenthal於1980年出版《永無止盡選戰》(The Permanent Campaign)一書,指出民選首長當選之後,即不斷為連任作準備,為了達到此一目的,不僅過去的輔選團隊會隨著進入到白宮擔任政治顧問的角色,並且選戰思維也會影響著民選首長的決策作為,讓選戰模式變成是一種治理方式,當中最明顯的特點就是民意調查的執行與應用。
台灣從解嚴之後,選舉次數亦十分地頻繁,從地方到中央,從民意代表到行政首長,儼然已經形成一個相當完整的職涯歷程。為探求我國民選首長就任之後,是否會藉由民意調查機制協助他們解決問題並進行相關的決策,本研究透過次級資料分析法、深度訪談法、民意調查法,針對我們地方政府的民意調查執行及應用情形進行調查。研究發現我國地方政府在民意調查的執行部分受到行政程序及財政狀況之影響,因此不若選舉時期來的有彈性。其次,在民意調查機制的應用部份,受訪者表示對於政策環境的釐清相當具有幫助,可以協助他們決定政策方案的採行。最後,為了瞭解「從眾效應」策略性民調結果的公佈是否會影響到一般民眾既有的認知,本研究透過兩階段民意調查的實驗,分別針對雲林縣、台中市的民眾進行電話民意調查,依據差異分析顯示,無法證實民意調查結果的公佈的確對於民眾既有的認知會造成改變。 / In the field of public opinion polls initiated in the 1930s, seeking collective preferences of citizens and customers for the government and the business sector by means of mail, telephone, or face-to-face interviews has brought about a significant impact on human political and business life in the 20th century. In the 1980, Sidney Blumenthal published the book "The Permanent Campaign". In this book, Blumenthal explained how the changes in American politics from old-style patronage and party organization to that based on the modern technology of computer driven polling created a fundamentally new system. The concept of a permanent campaign describes the focus which recent presidents have given to electoral concerns during their tenures in office, with the distinction between the time they have spent governing and the time they have spent campaigning having become blurred and political consultants had replaced the party bosses and brought with them a new model by which campaigning became the forms of governing.
Is campaigning becoming the forms of governing in Taiwan? To answer this questions, this dissertation is beginning with the theory discussion of the perspective of the “permanent campaign” and the “democratic governance”. Then, with the help of the method of interview and secondary data analysis, author discuss the application and limitation of the public opinion poll using in the governance of the local government. Public opinion poll can help the elected leader to find out the problems but it is limited by financial condition of the government itself. The author also designed a two-stage public opinion poll and divided the respondents into experimental group and contrast group. The author hypothesizes that respondents will change their choices because of the impact of “Conformity” and used an evidence-based analysis to testify the hypothesis. Finally, the author gives his conclusion and suggestion.
