Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 政治經濟學研究所 === 91 === Taiwan and South Korea are both Newly Industrializing Countries defined by OECD. There are some similarities in their structures of political economy. By contrast, there is also something worthy of comparing in the study of political economy.
In view of the relationship among states, enterprises and banks, Taiwan and South Korea vary in institutional adjustment across developmental periods. During the second half of 1990s, both countries had encountered the so-called Asian Financial Crisis. As a mutual external stimulus, this thesis examines the respective adjustments to the crisis in the both countries.
With regard to the analytical approach, this thesis took the new institutionalism as an analytical framework to do the foregoing. Simultaneously, in seeking to find difference of institutional adjustment among aforementioned three actors, this research chose financial innovation, adjustment of enterprises,interactions among sectors of the state after the crisis as three secondary topics for discussion. This thesis has found that, in exclusive of rather dissimilar enterprise patterns, although Taiwan had taken innovative financial policies in proper sequence than that of South Korea before the crisis, she did not keep innovative efficiency in making relative policies after the crisis. The key factors are that the state in Taiwan, compared with its counterpart of South Korea, was no longer more efficient or specialized in terms of financial management, and the state of South Korea had subjected their management authority to the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) which was more efficiency or market oriented.
