Abstract

ABSTRACT A factor that may account for the largely unanticipated victory of Brexit in 2016 is the difference in engagement, mobilization, and, ultimately, turnout between those for whom the question of Brexit was a valence issue (a dry and almost technical question of determining the policies by which uncontroversial shared ends can be achieved) and those for whom it was a positional issue (a question of raw, almost visceral, political preference). The declining appeal of valence politics may reveal a phenomenon that goes beyond Brexit and Britain: a change in the nature and character of contemporary electoral competition that may help to explain the newly resurgent populism characteristic of Western liberal democracies.

英国脱欧、位置民粹主义与价值政治吸引力的下降

2016年英国脱欧在很大程度上出人意料地取得了胜利，其中一个因素可能是在参与、动员和最终投票率方面的差异，对于那些将英国脱欧问题视为一个价价问题(一个决定政策的干涩和几乎技术性的问题，通过这些政策可以实现无争议的共同目标)的人来说，这是一个立场问题(一个原始的、几乎发自内心的政治偏好问题)。价格政治吸引力的下降可能揭示了一种超越英国脱欧和英国的现象:当代选举竞争的性质和特征发生了变化，这可能有助于解释西方自由民主国家民粹主义特征的新复苏。

期刊介绍： Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society is a political-science journal dedicated to advancing political theory with an epistemological bent. Recurrent questions discussed in our pages include: How can political actors know what they need to know to effect positive social change? What are the sources of political actors’ beliefs? Are these sources reliable? Critical Review is the only journal in which the ideational determinants of political behavior are investigated empirically as well as being assessed for their normative implications. Thus, while normative political theorists are the main contributors to Critical Review, we also publish scholarship on the realities of public opinion, the media, technocratic decision making, ideological reasoning, and other empirical phenomena.
