This book explores the deep contestations of the liberal script in the contemporary United States from a variety of perspectives. US democracy today is in crisis because of a profound ideological and affective polarization. The chapters in this volume show that Donald Trump's grip on the Republican Party is a symptom and a catalyst, but not the cause, of the contemporary contestations of the liberal script in the US. To discern their major drivers from a longue durée perspective, each chapter takes a step back and asks three main questions: (1) How can we best describe the current contestations of the liberal script in the US, exploring the extent to which the US is unique in comparison to other liberal democracies facing similar contestations? (2) What are the main drivers and root causes that explain the current contestations and the crisis of American democracy they may precipitate? (3) What are the likely consequences for the future of American democracy? The conclusions do not lead us to expect a return to "the norm" of internal contestations of the liberal script that are common in liberal democracies and have characterized the US throughout its history. Political, economic, and cultural polarization is by now deeply entrenched in American society and is eroding "mutual toleration" as the basis of American democracy. In other words, the resilience of US liberal democracy is at stake. It is unlikely that we will see the US liberal script bounce back in the near future. This volume has emerged from research carried out as part of the Cluster of Excellence "Contestations of the Liberal Script - SCRIPTS", which analyzes the contemporary controversies about liberal ideas, institutions, and practices on the national and international level from a historical, global, and comparative perspective. It connects academic expertise in the social sciences and area studies and collaborates with research institutions in all world regions. Operating since 2019 and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), SCRIPTS unites eight major Berlin-based research institutions: Freie Universität Berlin, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB), the Hertie School, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), the Berlin branch of the German Institute of Global and Area Studies (GIGA), the Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS), and the Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO).

American politics is currently substantially polarized. Politicians, party activists, and political elites are extremely polarized. The current political situation at the national level demonstrates this in detail. The situation is constantly in flux and in truth has evolved substantially in the time this dissertation has been produced. Both political parties are becoming more entrenched on their sides of the aisle. Some factions of political scientists have a theory on the subject; that politicians, and political activists are the only segment of society that is polarized. Fiorina posits that there is no culture war, that Americans are closely divided but not deeply divided. He is so sure he announces in the very title of his tome--The Myth of a Polarized American. Contrary to the views of these political scientists, Americans from every part of society are polarized, in many cases deeply so. There are contrary views. This is a contested debate in the literature. Jacobson for example offers a cogent argument that there in fact is a deep schism in the electorate. There is an interesting evolution form relative consensus on many political policies to deep polarization. From roughly 1940 until the end of the Cold War in 1989 American was not nearly as polarized as they are presently. Americans had a great deal to bring them together, from WW II, to the space race to the Cold War. By the end of the Cold War Americans seemed to be moving toward a more polarized political and social situation. If Americans are simply closely and not deeply divided issues such as abortion, health care, and climate change are clear examples where Americans are in fact deeply polarized. There are no close divides on these subjects. Americans are still fighting over abortion more than forty years after Roe v Wade. There is an explanation as to how Americans have become polarized. There are specific causal mechanisms that influence the American public. America is polarized form the top down. They are not only closely divided, they are deeply divided. There are factors that influence this such as religion, the media, and education. Even more specifically Americans are polarized at all levels, not only political elites but the American public as well. Americans are deeply polarized.

“A must-read for anyone concerned about the fate of contemporary democracies.”—Steven Levitsky, co-author of How Democracies Die 2020 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Why divisions have deepened and what can be done to heal them As one part of the global democratic recession, severe political polarization is increasingly afflicting old and new democracies alike, producing the erosion of democratic norms and rising societal anger. This volume is the first book-length comparative analysis of this troubling global phenomenon, offering in-depth case studies of countries as wide-ranging and important as Brazil, India, Kenya, Poland, Turkey, and the United States. The case study authors are a diverse group of country and regional experts, each with deep local knowledge and experience. Democracies Divided identifies and examines the fissures that are dividing societies and the factors bringing polarization to a boil. In nearly every case under study, political entrepreneurs have exploited and exacerbated long-simmering divisions for their own purposes—in the process undermining the prospects for democratic consensus and productive governance. But this book is not simply a diagnosis of what has gone wrong. Each case study discusses actions that concerned citizens and organizations are taking to counter polarizing forces, whether through reforms to political parties, institutions, or the media. The book’s editors distill from the case studies a range of possible ways for restoring consensus and defeating polarization in the world’s democracies. Timely, rigorous, and accessible, this book is of compelling interest to civic activists, political actors, scholars, and ordinary citizens in societies beset by increasingly rancorous partisanship.

It goes without saying that tension and division run deep in the present American political landscape. As much as one desperately yearns for bipartisanship and solidarity in the face of immense challenges threatening the United States both domestically and globally, both sides are almost disconnected from one another, ingrained with resentment against those with contrasting ideologies, and adamant to the idea of cooperation.This state of polarization and divide is, of course, counterproductive and detrimental to the country, as anyone can figure. It has dominated the country's ambience for years, and it is unfortunately likely to become more extreme in the approaching time. Many are understandably exasperated and dismayed at the outlook of this, and they rightly call for an end to it. However, no chatter, encouragement for change or expression of disapproval has ever translated into meaningful action thus far. Politicians, pundits, and influencers of all stripes have been condemning disharmony and partisan gridlock in Washington for decades, yet these problems persist. This begs a query as to whether we truly comprehend them and their roots. Throughout this riveting account, the United States' political history is intensively investigated as we delve together into every aspect there is to grasp about what has led to the current polarization and divide, and laid out as succinctly as possible. When all the pages are turned, hopefully something meaningful will be noted and play a contributive role towards the goal of healing this polarization and bridging this divide.

Across the world, the number of people forcibly displaced from their homes has more than doubled during the last decade. Although international law does not allow states to turn back refugees, some countries close their borders to refugees, some open their borders and grant extensive protection, while others admit some groups of refugees while excluding others. How can we make sense of these different responses to admitting refugees? In this book, Daniel Drewski and Jürgen Gerhards show that governments' refugee policy, as well as the stance adopted by opposition parties on the issue, is heavily dependent on how they frame their country's collective identity on the one hand and the identity and characteristics of the refugees on the other. By defining the "we" and the "others", politicians draw on collectively shared cultural repertoires, which vary by country and by political constituency within a country. The book is based on a discourse analysis of parliamentary debates. It explores the specific framing of nations' identities and the corresponding perceptions of otherness by focusing on six countries that have been confronted with large numbers of refugees: Germany, Poland, and Turkey, all responding to the exodus of Syrian and Middle Eastern refugees; Chile's reaction to the Venezuelan displacement; Singapore and its stance towards Rohingya refugees; and Uganda's response to the displacement from South Sudan. The study explores not only differences between governments of different countries but also the conflicting views of different political parties within the same country.
