Title:
Exploring the Influence of Academia Sinica’s Epistemic Community on Taiwan’s Education Policy
Abstract:
This research aims to explore the influence of Academia Sinica on the formation and implementation of education policy in Taiwan. Building on the epistemic community framework, the study examines the engagement of a network of Academia Sinica’s experts united by shared values, causal beliefs, and notions of validity in the policymaking process. Through a mixed-method approach, including interviews with key stakeholders and content analysis of relevant documents, this research identifies the reasons for Academia Sinica’s effective influence on education policy in Taiwan. The findings reveal key factors, including active engagement, institutional prestige, autonomy, and historical context, to impact education policy.
