碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 海洋科技與事務研究所 / 99 / A sound ocean science and technology (S＆T) development is the foundation for effective undertaking of marine affairs and, in turn, effective undertaking of marine affairs by a government will affect national survival and development.
Hence, in order to avoid the waste of S＆T resources due to invalid or repetitive investment into certain programs and, at the same time, to shun from the dispersion of S＆T resources into those unessential ocean S＆T programs that leads to the eventual edging out of the ocean S＆T research projects which truly carry implications to and required by national claims or securing rights on the seas, a government should to have undertaken ocean S＆T research purposely and systematically so as to uphold national survival and development. Accordingly, the object of this thesis’ study is decision making mechanism for national ocean S＆T development.
Ocean S＆T decision making mechanism is a subset of oceans policy and, also, a part of public policy. Thus, the public policy analysis methods are applicable to the analysis of governmental ocean S＆T decision making mechanism.
This study employs the “input-output model” to firstly analyze the operation of general S＆T decision making mechanisms of the United States, Canada and the Republic of China Governments, followed by analyses on the ocean S＆T decision making mechanisms as well as the policy outputs of these three nations.
This study finds that the ocean S＆T decision making mechanism of both the United States and Canada allows close contact between decision makers and social environment so that social demands and national needs can be taken into consideration through proper decision making mechanism, or even constitute the policy goals for ocean S＆T development which, in turn, permits the concurrent satisfaction of social demands and national needs by ocean S＆T development. There lacks linkage between current ocean S＆T decision making mechanism and social demands in this Country and, such mechanism cannot even identify national needs in an effective way.
As a conclusion, this thesis suggests this Country to learn from the decision making mechanisms of the United States and Canada by establishing “Departments” within the to-be-institutionalized ocean specialized agency, the “Oceans Commission”, for the identification of national ocean development needs and for the formulation of ocean S＆T development policy, respectively. Meanwhile, an advisory body should also be established to incorporate experts and scholars outside of the Government who care about ocean S＆T issues or ocean development related stake-holders from industries or the society into the ocean S＆T decision making system of this Country so as to enable the priority setting of national ocean S＆T development to truly reflect national and social needs.
