摘要

我们提出了卫星政治运动（SPM）的概念，这是一种为支持特定政治领袖而出现的运动-政党互动形式。我们将卫星政治运动理论化为草根运动，这些运动试图通过代表某个正式政治人物参与活动来增强该政治人物的权能。通过对美国的唐纳德-特朗普和巴西的雅伊尔-博尔索纳罗的案例进行研究，我们认为，基层政治运动可以通过常年参与竞选活动、激活新的支持者以及为更具争议性的策略提供政治掩护，成为叛乱政治领导人的宝贵资源。我们分析了社交媒体内容、法律文件和同期报道，以说明SPM内部的行动者、他们与所支持的正式政治领导人之间的关系，以及SPM可能支持政治领导人的三种理论机制：永久竞选、代理激进主义和战略分离。

Satellite Political Movements: How Grassroots Activists Bolster Trump and Bolsonaro in the United States and Brazil

We develop the concept of the satellite political movement (SPM), a form of movement-party interaction that emerges in support of a particular political leader. We theorize SPMs as grassroots movements that seek to empower a formal political figure by engaging in activism on that individual’s behalf. Examining the cases of Donald Trump in the United States and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, we suggest that SPMs may serve as a valuable resource for insurgent political leaders by engaging in year-round campaigning, activating new supporters, and providing political cover for more controversial tactics. We analyze social media content, legal documents, and contemporaneous reporting to illustrate the actors within SPMs, their relationships to the formal political leader they support, and three theoretical mechanisms through which SPMs may bolster political leaders: permanent campaign, radicalism by proxy, and strategic separation.
