The State of America IV: A Nation Divided, But Still Strong
Hauptsächlicher Artikelinhalt
Abstract
America continues to be the world’s number one (1st) economy as it is the leading innovator in digital applications. Meanwhile, it has fallen somewhat on “democracy” measures. Three of the world’s leading democracy monitoring organizations. Freedom House, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) have, among many issues, particularly noted a dangerous political polarization and a rejection of the electoral rules of the game in America. EIU cites America as having become a “flawed democracy” especially on the rejection of the political culture variable of acceptance of electoral defeat by Donald Trump and allies.
Keywords: United States, deeply divided, flawed democracy, still strong
