本文始於1950年代國府在各項主客觀條件的考量下爲了遂行軍事整編與裁軍所採取的種種因應策略,始終1970年前後「退除役制度」、「退輔制度」及其它相關制度性建構的完成;此一制度建構的過程中,戰後遷移來台的軍人一方面被形塑爲一個特殊的人口類屬,另一方面,也同時在內部確立了兩種分化的生命歷程。過去學界對此一過程的分析,大都著重在「退」、「輔」制度的建立及其制度效應。本文則強調,在構築退、輔制度的過程中,國府更爲根本的關切乃是(軍事)人口安置管理的意圍;而相關的人口訊息與人口管理機制之建構,則是左右軍事人口生命歷程的重大關鍵。此一過程之中,國家衡量既有的組織與制度條件,透過種種權宜性、順應性的措施,終於有效地界定了軍事人口的社會空間,執行其人口安置的制度措施。
The specified period discussed in this dissertation starts in 1950s while the strategies of state-actor toward reducing armed forces was set up and ends In the accomplishment of institution of demobilize and veteran-service In 1970s, The populace of military which all almost migrated form mainland China between 1947 and 1951 was been formed as a particular population in this process of institution- building, and, in the same period, two differentiate life-story emerged Inside this population. Instead of concern about the creation of veteran-service system, we set this process on a broader scheme in which the demographic-management is a crucial factor. We argue that the ”state” pushed the institutions of demobilize and veteran-service not only for the single end of the faultless of these institutions but a greater aim of governance toward the function of demographics-management. The state examine its own condition of organization and institution to make up a boundary of social space by means of variedly expedient measure to place the populace of military.
