在多元族群的社會結構、以及民主鞏固的脈絡下，我們先從台灣制定一部新憲法的正當性、以及必要性著手。面對族群、民族、以及國家之間的糾葛，我們進而從政治哲學面探討相關的民族主義、多元文化主義、以及共和主義／憲政主義。接下來，我們要從憲政體制的選擇來考察族群關係的關懷。最後，我們將以新憲對於原住民族權利的承認，帶入多元族群的民族國家的建構。
Within the context of ethnic diversity and democratization, we start with the investigation of the legitimacy and desirability of designing a new constitution in Taiwan. After recognizing the imperative to synthesize political ideologies proposed to deal with the interwoven relationships among ethnic groups, the nation, and the state, we look into how nationalism, multiculturalism, and republicanism/constitutionalism may have enlightened us for constitution-making. Special attentions are paid to the choice of constitutional system and to the implementation of indigenous rights for the coming new institution. Finally, we will provide for a vision of multiethnic nation-state in Taiwan.
