Abstract: | 對於已進入民主轉型過程之民主鞏固階段的台灣,在民眾對民主的支持上,該如何判定民主制度和價值不僅根深蒂固於政治文化過程中,且一般公民皆擁有高程度的民主支持和忠誠度?本文從階級差異的觀點出發,探討兩個主要問題:
一、不同社會階級民眾之民主態度是否顯著差異 二、台灣當代中產階級所具有的民主態度為何?相較於勞工階級,中產階級是否對台灣民主鞏固更具有影響力。 本文使用「亞洲民主動態調查:台灣地區調查計畫」(2006)的統計資料,以職業做為階級分類依據,及兩組分別針對民主支持和自由民主價值所設計的問題,分別建構出四種不同的民主態度分類:「民主支持者」(高民主支持、高自由民主價值)、「民主批判者」(低民主支持、高自由民主價值)、「民主反對者」(低民主支持、低自由民主價值)和「假民主者」(高民主支持、低自由民主價值)。透過對社會階級與民主態度進行之統計分析,發現台灣各個階級民眾之間的民主態度確實具有顯著不同,且影響民主態度的來源是透過民眾對政府表現的評價,而教育程度越高的民眾亦越傾向呈現民主支持者的態度。民眾透過自身的政治經歷來進行評估和理性選擇,進而選擇是否支持民主體制,當人民享受到民主化所帶來的政治成果時,便容易依此做為對民主政治支持與否的依據,且此種透過對政治產出評價來做為民主正當性的基礎,有助於民主的鞏固和穩定。同時,台灣的中產階級實際上是具有高自由民主價值、高民主支持的「民主支持者」,相較於偏向「民主反對者」的農工階級,台灣中產階級才是實際上推動並深化民主鞏固的重要角色,其所具有的民主價值和對經濟、政治民主的支持,使中產階級成為民主鞏固和深化不容忽視的關鍵角色。 This article attempts to use empirical measurement method to discuss how we determine that in Taiwan, a country which has already entered the period of democracy consolidation, citizens’ support of democracy have been deeply rooted. With regard to the division of social class, we’re trying to answer the following two questions: 1. Is there any significant difference in democratic attitudes between different social classes? 2. What’s the attitude toward democracy of Middle class in Taiwan? Compare to Working class, do middle class possess more influence in the democracy consolidation of Taiwan? We use the database from Asian Barometer Survey 2006, classify the respondents by their occupations, and use the questions which were designed for examining respondents’ support of democracy and their democratic value, construct a four-type model of democratic attitude: consistent democrats, critical democrats, non-democrats and superficial democrats. The result of the statistic research shows that, in Taiwan, different social classes have different attitudes toward democracy, which can be attributed to the evaluations of the government. People choose to support democracy or not through their own political experience. This kind of support of democracy is very helpful to consolidate and stabilize the democracy. Also, respondents who have higher education background are more likely to be the consistent democrats. As to the middle class, result shows that they’re the most consistent democrats, which means they have the highest democratic value and support. Compare to the working class which are more likely to be the non-democrats, middle class are the most important and influential role of democratic consolidation in Taiwan. |
