Abstract: 

  Relatively speaking, the network governance approach is more distinctive than traditional government thinking of the state on sharing decision power and urging the citizen's autonomy to develop common interests. In other words, network governance approach refer to the networking governance structure, differing from the traditional bureaucracy and market mechanism, and all network members get mutual impact and cooperation through interactive regulations for the target of cogovernance. However, because of the influence of ''special power relation'' for decades, the main teachers' organizations of public school in Taiwan (National Teachers' Association, NTA) and Japan (Japan Teachers' Union, JTU) had lacked collective labor rights unlike the teachers' organizations in England and U.S.A. But both NTA and JTU still hold policy influence to a certain degree and highlight the differences for interaction relation in both policy networks to the teachers' organizations in England and U.S.A., considering the JTU's experience for fighting against the ruling party in Japan which reflects the unique feature of participant's behavior in education policy network. Therefore, the goal of this article is to analyze the mechanism and interactive regulations of policy participation for the JTU and NTA, by using methods such as document analysis, historical comparison, from the view of policy network and expects to offer policy recommendations to government for adjustment in governance mode of education policy network.
