民粹主義對憲政民主衝擊之分析

An Analysis of the Populism’s Impact on Constitutional Democracy

民粹主義的近來發展似乎已對憲政民主產生衝擊，如英國脫歐、匈牙利非自由政體(illiberal regime)，均對自由民主(liberal democracy)長期以來所建立的信念產生動搖，甚至影響世界政經的發展。對此，吾人有必要加以了解及重視。本文擬對民粹主義進行剖析，並從憲政主義與自由民主思維分別探討其與民粹主義的關係及是否產生對立，並了解民粹憲政主義所形成之理論及走向。分析結果發現，民粹主義已對憲政主義與自由民主構成挑戰，其具體徵象是導致國際情勢在社會、經濟或文化方面的變動，如排外、反對全球化等。這些挑戰與衝擊均值得吾人反思：自由民主不是歷史發展所必然，而是人類共同努力的成果，吾人必須好好的珍惜。
