Under Martial Law, although the Taiwan's government did not rule by "totalitarism" and KMT's "authoritarism" allowed the market freedom, it still imposed a lot of restrictions on civil non-economic associations. Meanwhile, there was not a "civil society" to take balance with the state in Taiwan. After lifting Martial Law in 1987, besides the political democratization, the most obvious "structural transformation" is the emergence of civil associations. More and more non-government, non-profit organizations are established. They try to affect many kinds of public policies, provide welfare service, and even replace some public functions of government. This essay attempts to understand and explain the cultural meaning represented in this phenomenon by the development of non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Taiwan. It is suggest that autonomic associations can most directly present the movement of civil consciousness, and be indicator of social self-governance. There fore, while NPOs become more and more active, it means that there is gradually a "civil society" formed in Taiwan. Compared with East-European countries, this experience has dual importance in theory and practice. About the framework of this essay, first, I will make reference to the legal condition of civil right during that time, and analyze the consequence of the suppression of civil activities. Secondly, I try to observe the track of NPOs'development in recent decades in Taiwan and their characteristics presented in the process of social movements. Finally, taking some theoretical perspectives from other researchers explains the interconnective relations between NPOs and social self-governing, to verify that Taiwan's civil society and political democratization were formed simultaneously, and to find out the possible contribution by which they provided in the future.
