Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 政治學研究所 === 107 === Recently in Taiwan, by the reason of the frequently happening of social
movements from 2008 to 2014, there are some new-emerged political participants
who were activists, some of these candidates or parties were successfully elected in
the local council election of 2014 or the legislator election of 2016.Besides, the
elected of Tsai Ing-Wen triggered a heated discussion of women’s participation in
politics in Taiwan society. Thus, this thesis attempts to list different types of female
political participants, who started as activists but later engaged to intra-institutional
politics from 1949 to nowadays. Therefore, I listed three types of participants that
matches the above-mentioned features, which are the Dangwai political participation
period, institutionalized women’s right movement period and the third-force political
participation period. By analyzing and comparing these three participating approaches,
this thesis aims to explore whether Political Opportunity Theory, which is primarily
used to explain the occurring, prosperity or failure of social movement, can furtherly
explain the afterwards intra-institutional politics participation of these female
participants. By using in-depth interview, this thesis also attempts to analyze the
variant challenges faced by different female political participants due to their gender
and personal traits, on the basis of the interviewees’ participation experiences and
their interaction with the masculinity structure in the domain of politics.
