National Security governance using civil defensive approaches

摘要

This paper examines how security governance is applied as both an analytical framework and an empirical model in civil defense. Civil defense, which was originally set up for war defense, is now transforming into an integrated emergency management unit, embracing wartime air defense and peacetime disaster protection. How civil defense transitioned along this process is a reflection of the security governance paradigm. Nevertheless, the inefficiency of inter-organizational cooperation among civil defense units implies that the integration of various forms of organizations needs further improvement.
