美国的新常态？民粹民族主义在美国的极端化 2020年10月13日20:30-22:00 北京时间 (08:30-10:00am 美国东部时间) 民粹民族主义的兴起已经成为了一个全球性的现象：从特朗普当选美国总统、英国脱欧到极右政党在欧洲的崛起，民族主义的疫病在全球范围上不断发展壮大，以至于得以重塑主流政治格局，改变诸多国家的政策，扩大了政治、经济及文化上的分歧。2020 年美国的总统选举无疑将会是一个美国民粹民族主义崛起的风向标。 从贸易政策、移民到中美关系的议题，民粹民族主义的阴影早已在 2020 美国大选的选举活动中浮现。两党竞选人特朗普总统和拜登都在利用被民族主义情绪所助长的日益高涨的对中国的反感，攻击对方在中国政策上过于软弱，加强了仇外的攻击。在这场研讨会中，受邀嘉宾将会讨论以下问题：民粹民族主义兴起的原因，以及这些因素又是如何使得美国两党的分歧不断扩大，以至于这种分歧开始威胁到美国自由民主的价值观；中国因素在此次选举中的影响。 这些因素在政策和政治的选择上有何影响？在多大程度上助长了美国的仇恨犯罪，尤其是那些针对亚裔美国人的？嘉宾们还会继续分析这些问题：两党的民族主义热情是如何影响他们的特定战略、经济和商业政策立场的？中国与美国在科技领域的脱钩是不是不可避免的？是哪些因素致使两国限制商品、知识、资本、人才和创新的跨国流通？当下美国的民粹民族主义是暂时性的，还是说更多是结构性的，又更或是永久性的变化？如果民粹民族主义将成为美国的新常态，它会威胁到美国的民主制度吗？ 受邀嘉宾 托马斯 · 卡罗瑟斯（Thomas Carothers）卡内基国际和平基金会副主席 作为卡内基国际和平基金会研究方向副主席，托马斯·卡罗瑟斯负责监督卡内基所有的研究项目，直接领导民主、冲突及管治项目（Democracy, Conflict and Governance Program），并参与民主相关议题的研究和创作。卡罗瑟斯无疑是国际民主、人权、政府管治、法治和公民社会等议题上的权威。他曾经撰写和编辑了十本饱受好评的书籍，在国际知名学术期刊和媒体报刊上发表了许多文章，亦包括 2019 年他与安德烈·奥多诺修（Andrew O’Donohue）合著的《分裂的民主世界：全球政治极端化的挑战》。 方艾文（Evan Feigenbaum）卡内基国际和平基金会副主席 方艾文（Evan A.
