(コメント) 人口規模を維持する出生率(女性1人が2.1人の子どもを産む)を割り込む国が増えています。韓国は0.7で、今世紀末までに人口が60%減少する。世界中で人口が減少し、中国もインドも例外ではありません。出産を奨励する政策は、ほとんど効果がなく、財政的にもプラスにならないでしょう。年金、介護、医療の負担をめぐる政治対立が生じます。

資源や領海・領土をめぐる対立以上に、内政における地域格差、貧困地域の対策が政治を大きく左右することに気づきます。それが共通の背景となって、アメリカ大統領選挙、ヨーロッパの人種差別と極右の台頭、中国不動産バブルと政府介入、を解決困難なものにしています。

IPEの想像力 6/10/2024

グローバルな解体と再編は市場のダイナミズムです。「新自由主義」の成果は歴史が示しており、この先も継承されるだろう。批判はまちがっている、とA.クルーガーは考えます。

EU議会選挙で中道左派、環境、左派の議席は減り、中道右派は多数派を維持しますが、極右、右派が増えました。

「この偉大な愛国運動は、世界中で起きている国家への回帰に従ったものだ」と、フランスの右翼政党「国民連合(RN)」、ルペン前党首が勝利を理解するのは間違いだ、と思いました。

民主主義の容器として既存国家の統治能力が限界を超え、特に、産業の地理的再編、都市と農村の対立を政治的に受容できないまま、差別と憎悪、爆発を繰り返しているのではないでしょうか。

スナク首相だけでなく、マクロン大統領が議会解散・選挙を決断しました。ブレグジットの後も、移民・難民や地域の衰退・格差の問題を解決できていません。

2016年、トランプを生んだアメリカの選挙時に、インディアナ州マンシーを訪れたイギリスの社会学者Gary YoungeThe Guardianに報告していました。

・・・何かが起こっています。しかも、私たちが考えていたよりも速いのです。トランプは Brexit に続き、マリーヌ・ル・ペンはトランプに続くかもしれません。私たちの政党はもはや、彼らが代表すると主張する人々とつながることができないようです。私たちの民主主義は私たちが思っていたよりも脆弱です。機能する民主主義を可能にする機関、つまり報道機関、議会、警察は、以前よりも信頼されていません。

大統領の選択を決めるウィスコンシン州についてThe Economistが、GMの工場が閉鎖された後の同州のジェーンズビルについてFTが、最近、報告しています。

****

右派はEUを解体するのでしょうか? 諸国民・諸民族の群島国家にもどる?

イギリス首相となったスナクは、インド系移民家族の息子であり、インドの巨大財閥の娘と結婚し、超富裕層のための投資バンクのパートナーでした。

国家の運営をナショナリズムと投資銀行に委ねることが、ブレグジットの狂信に対する答えにはなりません。

二元論は誤りです。環境規制、炭素税vs農業、トラック運送業、インフレによる生活苦。それはポピュリズムに利用され、EUの官僚主義やマクロンの「傲慢さ」に対する不満と重なって有毒化しました。

ポピュリズムは過激化するのか? 脱悪魔化・穏健化するのか? ル・ペンに具体的な解決策はない、と言われます。若いバルデラ党首は、貧困地区で育った移民の子供です。ル・ペンはユーロ解体を主張せず、EU政治を保守的に再編したいのです。しかし、右派に政策合意はありません。

統治に失敗し、エリート支配への反乱、狂信者の独裁に向かうなら、有権者は離反するだろう、と見てマクロンは「ショック療法」を選んだのか。

民主主義の刷新、政策・統治能力の新次元、フロンティアを拓くのはだれか。温暖化防止より適応・移住対策。脱化石燃料より脱成長・脱格差。巨大都市より人口減少・分散型発展。

****

人口増加や都市化が、工業化とグローバリゼーションでGDPを増やした時代は、人類史の一つの段階として終わる。子どものいない社会、人口減少への適応が問われます。それが、階級戦争ではなく、進行中の「保守革命・右傾化」かもしれません。

国防だけでなく、出産・育児も分担し、社会が共有します。高等教育、豊かなミドル・クラス、老後の健康のために、女性も、男性も、家族の価値を再発見します。

移民・難民はグローバルな都市化です。アフリカの医療・学校改革、新しい産業革命に向けてEUが投資します。
