摘要

本文探讨了麦克奈特(2018)所说的“进步民粹主义”，并认为进步民粹主义在当代西方民主社会的兴起与新自由主义治理制度的出现和全球企业权力的崛起直接相关。利用学术文献和大众评论的见解，它概述了自20世纪60年代以来，全球公司和政府为逆转和阻碍许多西方民主社会中以前被边缘化的部分的民主权利的增长而进行的日益激烈的反击。至关重要的是，不要把全球企业的力量和新自由主义的兴起以及社会集体安全的代价视为另一种受到普通人攻击的精英主义。企业通过篡夺资本主义经济制度，想要从民主中获得自由。它们代表了代议制民主原则的变形，最终导致进步民粹主义者所反对的自由悖论。

Freedom from Democracy

This article examines what McKnight (2018) refers to as “progressive populism” and argues that the rise of progressive populism in contemporary western democratic societies is directly related to the emergence of neoliberal governance regimes and the rise of global corporate power. Utilizing insights from both scholarly literature and popular commentary it outlines the rising counter assault by global corporations and governments since the 1960s to reverse and impede the increase of democratic rights for previously marginalized sections of many western democratic societies. It is crucial not to dismiss the power of global corporations and the rise of neoliberalism at the expense of the collective security of societies as just another form of elitism attacked by ordinary people. Corporations want freedom from democracy by usurping capitalist economic systems. They represent a disfiguration of representative democratic principles that culminates in paradoxes of liberty that progressive populists are contesting.

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?
