施明德基金會舉辦國際學術研討會探討民主韌性與國家安全。
台灣自我防衛及軍購議題備受關注。美國海軍四星退役上將、史丹佛大學胡佛研究所「印太地區台灣計畫」共同主席詹姆斯・埃利斯今(9日)指出,台灣「豪豬戰略」不是1張採購清單,必須透過實際訓練落實作戰方式,也要進一步思考電力維持、網路與感測系統運作,以及社會能否在危機中維持團結。
施明德基金會今天舉辦「公民社會、民主韌性與國家安全:紅衫軍反貪腐運動二十週年」國際學術研討會,其中以「台灣與民主世界:面對威權壓力的戰略韌性」為題展開圓桌論壇。
埃利斯(James O. Ellis Jr.)回顧1996年台海危機指出,北京當時在台灣總統大選前向海域發射彈道飛彈,30年前嚇阻關注的是艦艇是否會抵達,如今則必須思考「島上的燈能不能繼續亮著」,網路是否可信、感測器能否持續運作,以及社會能否因應一場未必以飛彈來襲做為開端的危機。
談到防衛建軍,埃利斯主張,台灣應強化分散、可存續且成本較低的防衛能力,現代軍事力量並非單靠採購建立,而是要確保人員能在受干擾環境中操作、網路能承受第一波網路攻擊、後備人員清楚任務,社會也知道停電後如何應變。他並肯定台灣漢光演習納入反封鎖操演的方向,「豪豬戰略不是一張購物清單,而是一種作戰方式,而且必須加以演練」。
此外,能源也是防衛的一環。埃利斯提醒,應延長天然氣儲備、強化與分散接收設施,同時提升電網網路防禦、分散供應來源並建立戰略儲備。台灣政府今年朝恢復兩座核電廠運作的方向前進,在他看來「既是戰略行動,也是能源行動」。
在區域合作方面,埃利斯表示,美國對台支持仍然強勁且具跨黨派基礎,但當前夥伴關係不能只限於軍售,也應涵蓋威脅評估、封鎖與隔離情境規劃、能源韌性、電網與網路強化及聯合訓練,並納入日本、南韓、菲律賓等區域夥伴。
同場與會的史丹佛大學胡佛研究所傑出訪問學人、澳洲前外交部長瑪麗斯・佩恩(Marise Payne),則以澳洲俗諺「treating people like mugs(把人民當傻瓜)」為例警告,若民選政府僅要求人民服從而不說明決策原因與環境風險,將承受重大後果。
瑪麗斯・佩恩建議,面對網路與外國干預,民主政府首先必須做的,就是持續且清楚地與人民溝通,說明國家所面對的環境,以及為何採取或不採取特定措施;尤其在社群媒體高度滲透的環境下,民選領導人更有責任以清楚、公開且避免政治口號的方式,向社會說明危機與政策選擇。
