This study analyses the planning process of High Speed Rail(HSR) Project in Taiwan. It takes state transformation as the main theme to understand the policy changing process of HSR, from a transport infrastructure construction of government in 1980s to a developing investment project of capital in the 21st century. Global transplant process of new rail technologies inaugurated HSR project in Taiwan. Under pressures from Legislative Yuan''''s demanding and from insufficient system capacity of Western corridor transportation, HSR project was proposed by Executive Yuan. At that early stage of state transformation, HSR project became a public contested policy for reasons. It demands tremendous governmental input resources. It affects profoundly the local-regional development. Moreover, it closely relates with interests of various social groups. Therefore, multiple knowledge approaches, elective and executive sectors of state, central and local governments, plus many social groups, mainly the capital and the landlord, all have been engaged in the policy process to compete decision powers. The reconstructuring of state decision power structure results in the detoured route, increased numbers of station and enlarged station special zones, the private participation strategy of HSR project, as well as the inauguration of BOT Law in Taiwan. Transportation profession community has been passively learning and adapting its core knowledge as response. Now the planing logic is more political than rational, while planing powers are unevenly distributed to local governments. HSR project has been altered to be a developing investment project whose profit is guaranteed by the transformed state. Situated as state transformation, HSR project is the historical project through which the regime regulates and converts governance institution. Abusing space as its expanse, the new form of state/capital/social relationship has been built up in the emergence of the BOT Law and the detouring of High Speed Rail in Taiwan.
