In retrospect to its past more than one hundred years developing, what prospect   does   political   science   has   in   twenty-first   century?   Political scientists are seeking to identify a specific history for political science recent years around millennium. The striving of building the disciplinary history is helpful to political scientists to share its value and identity in common. Also, this attempt is to endorse the legitimacy and to embed the responsibility into the political science community.    Moreover,  as  a  salient  discipline,  political  science  must  have  its  own paradigms;  however,  as  Kuhn  said,  paradigms  have  usually  been  shifting. What  paradigms  have  political  science  had  this  time  around  millennium? How will these paradigms be shifting toward twenty-first century? It is the moment right now to examine all the paradigms of political science not only from the history but also from the methods.  The  development  of  political  science  in  any  country  is  related  to  its propensity of regime.  In  a  democratic  state,  for  example,  its  developing  of political  science  is  as  well  as  its  democratization  process.  Along  this  line, what the real relationship between political science and regime is the major thinking tendency in developing political science around millennium.  What  will  this  new  tide  of  political  science  develop  when  into twenty-first  century  affect  Taiwan’s  political  science  community?  The authors  believe  that  the  sooner  to  investigate  the  actuality,  history  and  its relationship with political regime of Taiwan’s political science, the better to build up the discipline’s status. Then, Taiwan’s political science developing will be on the right track toward the twenty-first century.
