摘要 在政策分析領域中，政策終結的研究長久以來受到學者的忽視，相關文獻並不多見，因此無法成為熱門的研究議題，致使其成為政策循環圈隱晦不明的部分。此外，在多數先進國家的政府部門，面對日益嚴重的財政壓力，因此如何終結缺乏效能或過時的政策、計畫、組織，便顯得愈形重要。故本文分別從政策終結的意義、類型、成因、方式等層面著手，以便對政策終結的概念有一基本的認識。其次則分析政策終結不易成功的八種原因，以了解在實際的政治運作中，為何政策終結如此難以達成。再次引述Robert Behn的觀點，說明十二個政策終結的有效策略。再者又引述Eugene Bardach的研究，闡述有利於政策終結的五種情況。最後則根據前述論說，提出本文的五項結論，為本文劃下句點。
