摘要

在这篇评论中，我们讨论了COVID-19大流行对老牌民主国家和新兴民主国家可能产生的一些影响。我们期望这一流行病不会对老牌民主国家产生严重的长期影响。我们根据疫情对当前民主领导人的直接影响来评估疫情后民主的未来，并推测疫情对支持民主制度和原则的长期影响。我们还讨论了2019冠状病毒病大流行对全球民主倒退趋势的可能影响。我们预测，在短期内，这一流行病的影响可能会使已经遭受民主侵蚀的国家的局势恶化。然而，这一大流行病的长期经济影响可能对非民主治理更为不利。

How Will the COVID-19 Pandemic Affect Democracy?

In this commentary, we discuss some possible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in both established and newer democracies. We expect that the pandemic will not have grave long-term effects on established democracies. We assess the future of democracy after COVID-19 in terms of immediate effects on current democratic leaders, and speculate on the long-term effects on support for democratic institutions and principles. We also discuss possible implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global trends in democratic backsliding. We predict that, in the short term, the repercussions of the pandemic can aggravate the situation in countries that are already experiencing democratic erosion. However, the long term economic effects of the pandemic may be more detrimental to non-democratic governance.

期刊介绍： Democratic Theory is a peer-reviewed journal published and distributed by Berghahn. It encourages philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions that critically explore democratic theory—in all its forms. Spanning a range of views, the journal offers a cross-disciplinary forum for diverse theoretical questions to be put forward and systematically examined. It advances non-Western as well as Western ideas and is actively based on the premise that there are many forms of democracies and many types of democrats. As a forum for debate, the journal challenges theorists to ask and answer the perennial questions that plague the field of democratization studies: Why is democracy so prominent in the world today? What is the meaning of democracy? Will democracy continue to expand? Are current forms of democracy sufficient to give voice to “the people” in an increasingly fragmented and divided world? Who leads in democracy? What types of non-Western democratic theories are there? Should democrats always defend democracy? Should democrats be fearful of de-democratization, post-democracies, and the rise of hybridized regimes?
