(中央社記者張欣瑜舊金山9專電)前總統蔡英文8日與「民主先生」戴雅門對談。戴雅門接受中央社訪問表示,蔡英文自嘲「無聊」有其道理,民主社會應減少激烈政治情緒。蔡英文向國際闡明台灣的成就、價值、重要性、責任,「這對台灣在世界上的地位及安全至關重要」。

史丹佛大學胡佛研究所資深研究員戴雅門(Larry Diamond)9月訪問台灣,對全球民主衰退加劇發出警訊。他接受中央社專訪指出,蔡英文在胡佛研究所演說是一個很好的指標,強調台灣民主的成就與價值,並提醒民主社會降低政治敵意、維繫共同信任。

蔡英文在演說中自嘲擔任總統期間有些人說她「無聊」;不過,在政治日益兩極化、挑釁比克制更容易吸引注意的時代,稍微無聊或許是有用的,特別是作為一位總統,責任是確保台灣的安全,同時找到彼此的共同點,讓民主可以繼續往前走。

蔡英文今天也在社群平台分享演說影片,表示8日與胡佛研究所的400位外國朋友說,常常有人形容她「很無聊」,結果大家都笑了。

戴雅門指出,這種自嘲也是蔡英文魅力的一部分,蔡英文也迅速在校園圈粉。一位卸任總統能有更大國際活動空間去向世界講述台灣的故事,是一項重要的資產。

綜觀世界局勢,戴雅門認為,蔡英文演說值得美國和其他民主國家借鏡。

戴雅門闡述,在當今許多民主政體正試圖處理內部分歧,並對抗俄羅斯、中國等威權國家試圖操弄和分化之際,蔡英文的演說傳遞了非常實用且重要的訊息,即政治競爭可能越來越激烈,但必須記得彼此的共同價值,包括作為民主政體的共同價值,各個民主政體內部共同擁有的文化價值,及世界各地民主政體彼此共享的共同價值。

戴雅門強調「這種共同價值非常重要」,能讓台灣內部,或美國、德國、其他民主國家內部的民眾不至過度分裂;因民主敵對勢力會操弄分裂,利用它來削弱民主社會。

蔡英文也深入闡述外界較少著墨的台灣社會韌性,說明民眾如何在危機中超越政治分歧、團結互助。戴雅門說,與會者也都好奇台灣這樣一個相對較小的國家,如何同時成為具領導地位的民主政體,並在先進科技與經濟發展方面成為如此強大的重鎮。

美國總統川普(Donald Trump)9月和中國國家主席習近平在白宮舉行雙邊會談。川習會後,美方近期則與台灣頻繁互動,釋出支持訊號。蔡英文此行,與美國前眾議院議長裴洛西(Nancy Pelosi)會晤,裴洛西也重申美國國會對台灣人民及自由的承諾。

針對川習會後的台美關係,戴雅門觀察,美國對台政策沒有改變,而台灣應該始終保持積極態度,主動交流,讓美國對台灣的責任感,以及台灣在區域內作為美國良好經濟與政治夥伴的角色感到放心,並且在投資、科技,及許多事情上保持合作。

戴雅門認為,蔡英文作為一位卸任總統,走向國際、講述台灣的故事,並闡明台灣的成就、價值、重要性、責任,「這對台灣在世界上的地位及安全至關重要」。
