In Taiwan, after several changes in its name and assigned functions, the National Security Council (NSC) was at last legitimized in 1993 and modernized via organizational expansion and management reforms after 2002-2003. However, several institutional flaws -- mainly (1) legal constraints on the NSC authorized capacity, (2) unaccountable organizational design, and (3) over-clandestine organizational culture -- emerged. Compared with U.S. NSC, the general capacity of Taiwan’s NSC was much inferior on the grounds of its legitimacy was challenged, its interagency coordination was resisted, and its failure in providing policy vision and strategic guidelines. The necessity of NSC in Taiwan is beyond question. Its role in managing national security issues is more visible today. Therefore, this project, according to the above-mentioned flaws, will turn to focus on offering three key realms for future improvements, including (1) re-legitimization, (2) strengthen its organization and capacity, and (3) more legislative supervision. Some concrete proposals in reach realm will also be suggested.[[sponsorship]]行政院國家科學委員
