Tsuey-Ping Lee, Director of the Department and Graduate Institute of Political Science at CCU and President of TASPAA, stated that in the face of the global pandemic, rising geopolitical conflicts, the transition to net-zero carbon emissions, and digital sustainable governance, it is imperative for governments to respond promptly to international changes and domestic conditions, promoting political, economic, and social transformations to achieve sustainable development and social justice. During the TASPAA conference, the latest research findings on various topics were shared, and feasible solutions were jointly explored. The CCU Department and Graduate Institute of Political Science highlighted that the conference focused on six core issues: democratic governance and civic participation, public organization and social design, data governance and evidence-based policy, civil service reform, and human capital, public budgeting and sustainable finance, and social governance and social justice.
