摘要
在政府運作過程中，政策執行力影響政府治理的效能，而政策規劃的目標與內容也須要藉由政策執行力，才能將訴求轉換為實際的政策産出。隨著民主治理(democratic governance)的興起，民衆對政府執行力有更高的期望，如何提升政策執行力，也成為各國政府努力的課題。 本文將政策行階段相關的要件，包括政策內容、執行組織與人力、執行裁量與行為、政策工具與標的團體的互動等分別探討，檢視執行力所可能遭遇的困難，並進而描繪提升政策執行力的藍圖。 本文認為未來政府如果要提升政策執行力，必須強化政策規劃的品質，並且審慎選擇適當的政策工具。在執行的過程中，必須強化執行紀律，以此宣示政府對於執行的決心；同時採用策略性人力資源管理，提升執行力的人力資源品質。在府際關係的互動上，唯有中央與地方形成完整的執行網路，才有助於政策執行。最後則是因應資訊科技時代的變化，政府必須善用資訊工具來協助政策的執行。
