Donald Trump’s stunning electoral defeat of Hillary Clinton marks a watershed not just for American politics, but for the entire world order. We appear to be entering a new age of populist nationalism, in which the dominant liberal order that has been constructed since the 1950s has come under attack from angry and energised democratic majorities. The risk of sliding into a world of competitive and equally angry nationalisms is huge, and if this happens it would mark as momentous a juncture as the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)在选举中意外击败希拉里•克林顿(Hillary Clinton),不仅对美国政治而言标志着一个分水岭,对整个世界秩序也是如此。我们似乎正进入一个新的民粹民族主义时代。在这个时代,自上世纪50年代构建起的主导的自由秩序,受到了情绪激愤的民主多数的攻击。世界陷入同样愤怒的各种民族主义相互竞争的风险巨大。如果这种情况发生,它将标志着一个与1989年柏林墙倒塌同样重大的关头。
