在政治經濟學領域中，國家理論近年來頗受重視，成為新的研究典範。由於此一 理論旨在展現制定政策之國家機關的種種能力，因此應較能協助吾人瞭解公共政策 之制定過程。事實上，任何的政策研究不能不考慮「國家機關」的組織架構及其內 部部門相互的作用關係，否則將無從說明政治權力究竟如何影響公共政策的產出， 也無從瞭解實際的公共政策產出與理論之間，為何始終存在著頗大的差距。 本文旨在分析國家機關自主性之高低對政策制定的影響，並提出「國家機關自主 性愈高，愈能主導決策(或非決策)過程」之研究假設。

　　　　　In recently, as state theory becoming a new paradigm, a treatise on the political economy can never be complete without a discussion on the role of the state. Moreover, for state theory, the state is viewed as an independent decision-maker and planner, which, in close cooperation with the private sector, gives a clear ration- oriented boost to the process of decision-making by means of its authority. Is relative autonomy the main reason for state-led in decision-making ﹖ What makes different between the output of public policy and theory ﹖ We try to analyze what attitudes do state toward intervention in the process of decision-making and how has relative autonomy contributed to state capacity to intervene effectively without getting permanently entangled and without causing the policy to malfunction. In addition, we will aslo analyze if the state plays an important role to promote the output of public policy.
