　　以公費留學制度為主軸的留學政策在我國有其淵遠流長的歷史，對於協助我國度過國際社會各項挑戰、追求現代化過程中居功闕偉。然而，隨著時代變遷與全球化挑戰，近年來教育部不僅改革公費留學相關制度，也發展出其他一系列鼓勵出國留學與體驗之措施，其中以「學海計畫」之參與執行學校數、參與學生規模、經費執行數、以及時間作為具影響力。本研究一方面彙整、檢視與記錄「學海計畫」自2006年來發展、執行與轉變的過程，藉由深度訪談來自國內北、中、南部11所公私立大學與技職校院之12位執行者，理解與再現學海計畫執行者之經驗與挑戰；同時參照輔以新自由主義論述架構，分析政策文本、執行者論述、與新自由主義論述之關係。本研究發現，學海計畫作為我國留學政策的論述流轉之一，其實已被新自由主義論述所滲透影響，並因而產生了一些執行上的挑戰、以及政策追求正義的迷思。藉由梳理與再現學海計畫方案文本、執行者訪談、以及新自由主義論述交錯互動下的留學政策論述，期以學海計畫為例，理解與思考我國當代留學政策所面臨的挑戰與問題。

　　Taiwan’s national policy of studying abroad, at public expense has a long-standing history in China and Taiwan. The policy plays a significant role to facilitating Taiwan to d pursue modernization. However, with the drastic changes of the times and the challenges of globalization, Taiwan’s Ministry of Education has not only reformed the related system of public study abroad, but also developed a series of measures to encourage students to study and experience abroad. Among them is “the Knowledge Sea Project” (Xuehai Project) that has engaged with colleges nationwide, nearly thousand graduate students every year, and annual large-scaled funding. This study collects, records, and scrutinizes the process of development, implementation and transformation of the national project that has launched since 2006. Through in-depth interviews with 12 executives from 11 public and private universities and technology colleges around Taiwan, the research analyzes the relationship between policy/project text, executive discourse and neo-liberal discourse. This study finds that the program, as one of newly policy measures of studying abroad has been disseminated by the neo-liberal discourse, resulting in some implementation challenges and the myth of pursuing equity. Unpacking the intertwined interviewees’ narratives and neo-liberal discourse facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the issues of Taiwan’s study abroad policy underpinning by neo-liberalism.
