1970 年代新自由主義思潮興起，逐漸影響到世界各國的政策改革。本研究從不同時期的臺灣國民住宅政策中，分析國家干預的方式與邏輯，探討其中國家與住宅市場的關係轉變，以及新自由主義的影響。本文以政治經濟的角度，從國家與社會的互動關係去分析國民住宅政策的演變。在理論上從新自由主義、發展型國家、以及亞洲四小龍的住宅政策三個主題著手，並試圖連結三者之間的關係，探討新自由主義對發展型國家的影響，亞洲四小龍發展型國家下住宅政策的差異，以及新自由主義對四小龍住宅政策的影響。研究發現相對於歐美國家政府減少社會住宅、降低國家的住宅干預，臺灣在1990 年代民主化的壓力下，國家對國民住宅的干預卻反而增強。然而，為了增加國宅的供給，國宅政策逐漸納入市場規則，將市場力量納入國宅的供給之中。1990 年代後期國家從供給面的直接興建國宅，轉變成需求面的促進住宅消費能力；國家從壓制住宅市場，轉為扶植住宅市場。

The rise of neoliberalism since the 1970s has influenced policy reform in many countries around the world. This paper focuses on the development of the public housing policy in Taiwan to explore how the role the state plays vis-à-vis public housing has changed under the current era of neoliberalism. It analyzes the logic of the state’s intervention in housing to understand the relationship between the state and
housing market. Based on the political economic perspective, this paper focuses on the interaction of the state and society in the transformation of housing policies. The theoretical review includes three themes: neoliberalization, the developmental state and comparative housing studies among Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. The paper analyzes the impact of neoliberalism on the developmental state,
the explanations of different housing policies among the Four Asian Tigers, and the neoliberal influence on their housing policies. In Taiwan, the process of neoliberalization shows a very different trajectory from Western countries, seeing that neoliberal reforms in the 1980s were concomitant with the process of democratization.Political competition pressures the government to increase housing intervention. To
provide more public housing, the state changes intervention methods from supply side to demand side, and gradually adopts market rules into public housing provisions. The state provides subsidies for mortgage rather than constructing housing, and shifts from repressing to assisting the housing market.
