| Research Abstract |
This study examines how the separation of powers in Taiwan affects the parties' organizations nad behaviors, drawing upon the case study of the two major parties, the KMT and the DPP. The two parties had developed their own organizations which were different from each other during the democratization. The change from parliamentarism to semi-presidentialism forced the two parties to set forth their organizational reforms, but neither could carry out them in the end. It was not until assuming (or reassuming) the power that the party "presidentialization" under semi-presidentialism was identified in each party, and then they implemented the reform. In order to strengthen the presidential leadership, the parties did attempt to institutionalize a mechanism for the president to hold the post of the party's chairman. However, the president could not necessarily control the ruling party because of the effects of the new electoral system and the party's endorsement rules.
