摘要

摘要：近年来，随着民粹主义、两极分化和虚假信息的兴起，民主倒退已成为人们日益焦虑的根源。20年前，入侵伊拉克的决定播下了种子，其意外后果至今仍在回响。错误的情报和干预的无能导致了对精英、专家和当权派的信任度下降。这反过来削弱了政府和公民之间的社会契约，促成了身份政治的兴起，并为声称自己代表“真实人民”的民粹主义领导人创造了空间。伊拉克战争为英国脱欧和特朗普铺平了道路。

The Iraq Invasion at Twenty: The Iraq War and Democratic Backsliding

Abstract:In recent years, democratic backsliding has become a source of increasing anxiety with the rise of populism, polarization, and disinformation. The seeds were sown 20 years ago with the decision to invade Iraq, the unintended consequences of which continue to reverberate today. The faulty intelligence and incompetence of the intervention caused a decline in trust in elites, experts, and the establishment. This in turn weakened the social contract between government and citizens, enabling the rise of identity politics, and creating the space for populist leaders claiming that they represent the “real people.” The Iraq war paved the way to Brexit and Trump.
