摘要: | 2012年1月1日行政院組改後,「國土安全辦公室」從臨時任務編組正式成為院本部一級單位,專責處理我國反恐及國土安全業務。在該室人員編組、組織結構迄今都沒改變的情況下,對於日益多元複雜的恐怖攻擊,是否有足夠能力因應,值得深入研究!
因此,為瞭解組改後國土安全辦公室未來變革運作方向,本文先採用「文獻分析法」、「比較研究法」等研究方法,來驗證文獻資料中關於國內外反恐相關論述與實務,並應用組織變革相關理論,先從國內外反恐環境威脅中確定變革必要性,再從國土安全情報整合、反恐與災防任務專業整併、組織結構層級等面向檢視我國國土安全運作之現況,並以美國在九一一恐怖事件後,就國土安全運作進行的創新變革作法為借鑑;再藉由「訪談研究法」,親自訪問我國國土安全業務的主管人員、第一線實際執行的承辦人員及相關國土安全領域專家、學者,預期對國土安全辦公室之變革提出:近期目標-整合政府情報與執法機關國土安全情報資訊,以建立專業分工、快速有效之跨部門國土安全情報資訊整合應變平台;中期目標-行政院國土安全辦公室與災害防救辦公室整併,將反恐與災防任務專業事權單位統一;長期目標-成立國土安全部,整合反恐維安、國境安全維護、災害防救應變及基礎建設防護等所有關於國土安全領域業務於一個內閣層級的部會。本研究能為國土安全辦公室變革運作的方向提出政策性建議,以做為我國當局強化國土安全作為之參考,期能禦敵於機先、弭禍於無形,治標又治本地將恐怖主義的危害減到最低。
The Office of Homeland Security transforms from a ROC Cabinet temporary task grouping organization into a first-level unit under the Executive Yuan after the organizational transformation of the cabinet starting Jan. 1, 2012. It specializes in handling Taiwan’s anti-terrorism and homeland security affairs. It is worthy of attention to observe if the office has adequate capability to respond to increasingly diverse and complicated terror attacks, when the staffing and organizational structure of the office haven’t been changed for eight years.
Therefore, in order to understand the directions of the future transformation and operations of the Office of Homeland Security, the thesis uses document analysis and comparative research methods to verify the related discourses and practices on domestic and foreign anti-terrorism issues in the literature. Moreover, we use the related theories on organizational transformation, to confirm the necessity of change at the domestic and foreign anti-terror environments and threats at first, and to examine the current situation of Taiwan’s homeland security operations by checking the orientations of integration of homeland security information, professional merge of anti-terror and disaster prevention tasks, and organizational structures. In addition, we use the innovational transformation of the US on homeland security operations after the September 11 attacks.
By using the interview method, we interview personally the supervisors in charge of Taiwan’s homeland security affairs, the frontline executives, experts and scholars specialized in the related fields, to give prospects on the transformation of the Office of Homeland Security:
Short-term goals: to integrate the homeland security intelligence and information from the governmental intelligence and law-enforcement agencies for building a inter-departmental response platform, which specializes in integrating homeland security information.
Mid-term goals: To merge the Executive Yuan’s Office of Homeland Security and Office of Disaster Management for creating a professional unit that owns unified administrative powers on anti-terrorism and disaster management.
Long-term goals: To found the Ministry of Homeland Security, a cabinet-level agency that integrates affairs of anti-terrorism, national border security maintenance, disaster management and response, as well as infrastructure construction protection.
We wish the research will provide advices for the direction of the future change of the Office of Homeland Security as references to the authorities for strengthening homeland security operations, in order to minimize the danger of terrorism. |
