為探討地方派系與國民黨間呈現何種關係型態，本文以 1983-2001年區域立委選舉為例，分別從份量與效率兩個面向進行測量。透過總體資料建構與分析，初步發現：國民黨內地方派系在份量上，自八年初逐漸提升，並於八 年代末九 年代初達到高峰，但進入九 年代中期則逐漸下降；在效率方面，九 年代相較於八 年代則遜色不少。地方派系與國民黨的關係型態，在八 年代初至九 年代初呈現「選舉效率增長」且「深化政黨」的型態。而九 年代之後，則是呈現「選舉效率衰退」但「深化政黨」的關係型態，可說是衰退與深化並存。這樣的關係型態變遷，也解釋了國民黨在立委選舉的成功與失敗。然而，哪些因素造成地方派系深化國民黨，以及地方派系選舉效率的衰退，將是值得後續探討的課題。

This paper uses two indicators to identify the relationship between lo-cal factions and the Kuomintang (KMT): the rate of nominations, and the efficiency of elections. The study intends to estimate the local factions elec-tion efficiency and their nomination percentage in legislative elections dur-ing the period 1983-2001. It was found that the quota of the KMT's nomi-nations of the local factions rose during1983-1992 but declined from 1995. This trend continued up to 2001. During the 1980s,the election efficiency of local factions was better than in the 1990s. Thus, for the period 1983-1992, there was a rising efficiency in the relationship between the KMT and the local factions as larger quotas of KMT nominations were occupied by fac-tion-linked candidates.Lesser faction-linked nominee quotas on the KMT lists during the the declining years of 1995-2001characterized a lower elec-tion efficiency. This transitional relationship perhaps explains the KMT's failure in the legislative elections during 1983 to 2001. It would be interest-ing to discuss the factors that caused local factions to lose electoral effi-ciency and deepen the crisis of the KMT.
