This thesis focuses on the role the police have played in Taiwan¡¦s political institutions from 1949 to 2005. This thesis will attempt to cover three main areas. The first is to understand the transformation Taiwan¡¦s politics went through going from an authoritarian regime through a period of transition and then on to democracy. The second is, to study the development of the police in different political institutions. The final is to analyze and compare the role of the police and their importance and influence during different periods.
Documents studied while researching this thesis include both those that focused on the political change in Taiwan and also the development of police institutions. Documents dealing with the role of police, specialized writings, periodicals, thesis and other documents were also reviewed. In addition, by using a historical research approach and systematic theory, documents were thus analyzed and research compared to survey the political change and the development of police institutions. Furthermore, the effects on political institutions and police institutions at different periods were considered deeply in order to provide a realistic report of the role the police had.
This thesis can be divided into two parts. The first is about political change in Taiwan, reviewing and understanding the domestic and international factors which affected Taiwan generally. The second part is about the development of police institutions. This includes the course of change and development, equipment, education and training, maintaining of political power, maintaining order, social service, and the transition from authoritarian rule. The police role would be changed by different dominating factors, for instance, maintaining political power, maintaining social order and carrying out public service.
In conclusion, political institutions would be affected by both domestic and international factors. The nature of the police role was to carry out social control, but because the police were part of the political system, therefore, the role would also be affected by political institutions.
