僑生教育與中華民國：台灣國族想像的轉變，1951-2008

Abstract

本論文以國民黨政府在台灣開始招收僑生的1951年起，至國民黨二度政黨輪替、重新執政的2008年為時間範圍，並以解嚴前後為分水嶺，探討中華民國－台灣的國族想像在這五十多年來的劇烈轉變對僑生教育發展所產生的影響，從而反思僑生教育的本質。論文的第一部分首先將僑生和華僑的官方定義放置在一個兩岸的框架裡頭進行比較分析，以凸顯在台僑生的特殊性。接著，第二部分處理戒嚴時期的在台僑生教育，主要針對僑生教育和國民黨大中國意識型態之間的共謀關係進行剖析，以探討戒嚴時期在台僑生教育的特質。第三部分則處理解嚴以後的在台僑生教育，探討台灣本土意識以及民間社會的興起對僑生教育所形成的衝擊與挑戰，並著重分析民進黨執政時期，外籍生政策的出現如何進一步邊緣化僑生教育。最後，也觸及國民黨於2008年重奪政權以後，僑生教育的最新發展。

This paper aims at examining the relations between the development of Overseas Compatriot Student (Qiao Sheng) Education in Taiwan and the transformation of Taiwanese national imagination in the past fifty years, starting from 1951, the year when Kuomintang (KMT) regime began to recruit overseas compatriot students, to 2008, the year when the Kuomintang party regained its status as the ruling party in replacement of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). In the first part, the official definitions of Taiwan and mainland China's Overseas Chinese students are compared and contrasted to illustrate the uniqueness of Taiwan's overseas compatriot students. The second part looks at the characteristics of Overseas Compatriot Student Education during the martial law period by analyzing the complicity between the education and the ideology of Chinese Nationalism within the island. The third part deals with the development of Taiwan's Overseas Compatriot Student Education after the martial law was lifted in 1987 by analyzing how the education was challenged and impacted by the emergence of Taiwan's civil society and Taiwanese national consciousness. Special emphasis will be put on the marginalization of Overseas Compatriot Student Education during the rule of DPP with the implementation of International students' policy. Lastly, the latest development of Overseas Compatriot Student Education after the Kuomintang Party regained the presidency in 2008 will also be discussed.
