摘要:
Decision-making is the study of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision-maker. Decision-making is also the process of sufficiently reducing uncertainty and doubt about alternatives to allow a reasonable choice to be made. Research methods used in this study include naturalistic (unobtrusive) observation and case study. On August 23, 2004, the Legislative Yuan in Taiwan passed landmark constitutional amendment proposals to cut the number of legislative seats from 225 to 113, extend legislative terms from three years to four, adopt a "single-member constituency two-ballot" system, guarantee female legislators receive half of the seats from the nationwide constituency, give people referendum rights, and abolish the National Assembly. These amendments signify that the district legislators shall be elected according to the number of districts; nationwide constituency and overseas legislators shall be elected according to the list of party nomination that has garnered more than 5% of the votes. Comparing decision- making theories and the Taiwanese electoral reform case study shows that the governmental politics model (bureaucratic politics model or political decision model) best explains the legislature's arena. Power is the key driver, and most decisions made in the Congress are based on partisan politics rather than rationality.
