Samuel Huntington must be laughing in his grave. More than a decade ago the prescient political scientist popularised the term Davos Man. This was the cosmopolitan proponent of “transnationalism” who dreamt of a world in which borders would disappear, states would be obsolete, and all would be governed by elections and markets. Globalisation, to him, was not just about economic interconnectedness but a universal vision encompassing political governance, international relations and social values.
塞繆爾?亨廷頓(Samuel Huntington)一定正在墳?zāi)怪行ΑＪ嗄昵埃@位頗有先見(jiàn)的政治學(xué)家普及了“達(dá)沃斯人”(Davos Man)一詞。達(dá)沃斯人是“跨國(guó)主義”的擁護(hù)者，他們見(jiàn)多識(shí)廣，夢(mèng)想一個(gè)這樣的世界：國(guó)界消失、國(guó)家成為過(guò)去式，一切由選舉和市場(chǎng)支配。在達(dá)沃斯人看來(lái)，全球化不只是經(jīng)濟(jì)互聯(lián)互通，還是包含政治治理、國(guó)際關(guān)系和社會(huì)價(jià)值觀的普遍愿景。
