摘要

摘要：政治团结是件好事--除非它不是好事。本文认为，最近在马来西亚（2022 年）、泰国（2023 年）和印度尼西亚（2024 年）举行的选举表明，出现有毒形式的团结的趋势越来越明显。当本应处于政治光谱两端的政治家联合起来，以共同利益为借口，但实际上却在追求机会主义目标时，就会出现有毒的团结。有毒团结的特征包括不可能的搭档、名誉粉饰、秘密交易、隐蔽经纪、排斥性议程、话语诉求和选民疏远。有些有毒团结联盟是在投票日之前宣布的，而另一些则是秘密协议。

Southeast Asia's Toxic Alliances

Abstract:Political unity is a good thing—except when it is not. This essay argues that recent elections in Malaysia (2022), Thailand (2023), and Indonesia (2024) illustrate a growing trend towards toxic forms of unity. Toxic unity occurs when politicians who are supposed to be at opposite ends of the political spectrum join forces, citing the common good while in fact pursuing opportunistic goals. Features of toxic unity include improbable bedfellows, reputational whitewashing, clandestine deals, hidden brokerage, exclusionary agendas, discursive appeals, and voter alienation. Some toxic unity coalitions are proclaimed before polling day, while others are secret pacts.
