本文以台灣各縣市為研究對象,以2008至2010年為研究範圍,以自由主義觀點為研究途徑,以文獻分析、資料庫建立、統計分析等方法,解答各縣市對中國大陸交流的主要對象為何,進而提出未來與大陸交流的建議對象。本文發現:台灣25個縣市中,有17縣市的縣市長曾赴陸交流。有18縣市的縣市長曾親自在台與大陸地方政府機關人員交流。交叉比對各縣市長赴陸交流對象與在台交流對象,故可得出各縣市兩岸交流的主要對象:台北市與上海市。台北縣與江蘇省。南投縣與浙江省。台中市、台中縣、澎湖縣、金門縣均與福建省。中國大陸對中央最具影響力的三個省市,上海市已與台北市密切交流,但廣東省、北京市尚缺配對主角。本文建議桃園縣可作為台灣強化與廣東省交流的行動者。台中市可擔任台灣強化與北京市交流的行動者。
The objects of this study are cities and counties in Taiwan, and the time frame is 2008 to 2010. From a liberal perspective, this study uses document analysis, database establishment, statistical analysis to determine which counties and cities in China are the major exchange partners in Taiwan. We also aim to suggest new locations for future exchange with China. Among 25 counties and cities in Taiwan, 17 city and county mayors were found to engage in exchange with China. In 18 cities and counties in Taiwan, county and city mayors had personally engaged in personnel exchanges between local government authorities. A cross-comparison of county and city mayors' exchange partners in China revealed the main across-strait exchange pairs: Taipei City and Shanghai City; Taipei County and Jiangsu Province; Nantou County and Zhejiang Province; and Taichung City, Taichung County, Penghu County, Kinmen County are the major exchange partners with Fujian Province. Of the three Chinese provinces and cities with the most influence on China's central government, Shanghai City has maintained close communication with Taipei City. Guangdong Province and Beijing City still lack exchange partners in Taiwan. This paper suggests that Taoyuan County in Taiwan can serve as a facilitator to strengthen exchanges with Guangdong Province; while Taichung City can serve to strengthen the exchanges with Beijing City.
