If in Taiwan today, with its high degree of democratization, people are willing to look upon the intimate relations between the political powers-that-be and think tanks in a calm and rational way, then one can even better understand the establishment by the Kuomintang of the National Policy Foundation (NPF) as part of its response to losing executive power to the DPP.
如果在台灣高度民主化的今天，大家願意平常心看待政治力與智庫間的頻繁互動，國民黨為因應首度政黨輪替所成立的國家政策研究基金會，就能更被理解。國研基金會創會執行長江丙坤就不諱言，突來的政黨輪替讓國民黨及早成立政黨智庫。
