題名 CCP’s Disinformation on Ukraine War and Taiwanese Trust in Defense Policies 作者 黃兆年
Huang, Jaw-Nian貢獻者 國發所 日期 2023-08 上傳時間 11-Apr-2024 10:23:00 (UTC+8) 摘要 Concerns have arisen in international society regarding the influence of authoritarian great powers’ information operations on people’s faith in democratic institutions and government policies in liberal nations. In light of extant scholarship on sharp power operations, hybrid interference, and cognitive warfare, authoritarian great powers typically utilize the openness of liberal democracies to imbue them with false, biased, and conspiracy information, which accordingly undermines the society’s political polarization, the public’s confidence in democracy, and the nation’s resolve to resist. While existing literature adequately covers the mechanisms of authoritarian influence operations, the effects of disinformation campaigns deserve further investigation. This article explores whether Beijing-backed information operations during the Russia-Ukraine War strengthen Taiwanese society’s political polarization and weaken Taiwanese people’s trust in democracy and defense-related policies. Two hypotheses are proposed. First, whether a person would believe in false/biased information is decided by their party identification, i.e., the primary source of the cleavage within society. Specifically, people identifying with a specific major party tend to believe in a particular piece of false/biased information, while those identifying with the other major party do not. Second, those who believe in false/biased information tend to have less confidence in democracy and defense-related policies than those who do not. 關聯 2023 American Political Science Association (APSA) Annual Meeting, American Political Science Association 資料類型 conference dc.contributor 國發所 dc.creator (作者) 黃兆年 dc.creator (作者) Huang, Jaw-Nian dc.date (日期) 2023-08 dc.date.accessioned 11-Apr-2024 10:23:00 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 11-Apr-2024 10:23:00 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 11-Apr-2024 10:23:00 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) https://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/150808 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) Concerns have arisen in international society regarding the influence of authoritarian great powers’ information operations on people’s faith in democratic institutions and government policies in liberal nations.
