「治理」的研究在臺灣的公共事務與管理學界逐漸形成為重點理論傾向，但既有的文獻較少運用於思考如何於自由化與民主化的多元社會中，推動有效的濟弱扶傾公共政策又免於過度干預自主領域，且能就整體體制設計建構更好的願景。本文試圖以《自由中國》雜誌諸前賢雷震、殷海光、戴杜衡的思考與言論為指引，探究「治理」文獻，衡諸臺灣展現多元社會的歷史與現實，由之接引出設計與建立可能的體制及相應政策的轉變方向。比較當代政治哲學家就體制設計的思考，本文的研究發現《自由中國》雜誌諸前賢，特別是戴杜衡先生要求提昇社會領域自主性及多元治理的想法，先驅性地透露當代多元社會與公共治理原則的端倪。

The literature of governance has become a new focus of public affair theory and management research, but still delinked from the design of institution in reality and the future scenario of totality. This article is written in light of the thoughts of authors from Free China Magazine, especially that of Mr. Lei Chien, Mr. Yin Hai-kuang and Mr. Dai Du-heng, to compile the history of development of pluralistic society of Taiwan and to bridge the gap between the governance towards plurality in Taiwan.
