讲座内容/ Abstract:

This talk explores how Donald Trump came to be a major political figure in the United States reflecting an international rise in right wing populist leaders. There are four principal components to this talk. First, the unorthodox style of Trump’s political appeal; second, the political coalition that he – and others like him – have created in a buyer-seller relation as well as the variability in short run conditions working to his advantage and disadvantage; third, the nature of shifts in the internal coalitions of the political parties, why that happened and how it has impacted political polarization; and fourth, Trump’s impact on policy, government, institutions, and the international world order.
