Global Political Shift Since the Fall of the Berlin Wall
The fall of the Berlin Wall marked the peak of power for some political ideologies, leading to a fusion of Republican and Clinton Democratism. This fusion resulted in Democrats moving to the center while Republicans remained right-of-center, recalibrating American politics. Over the last 40 years, there has been a shift towards open markets, free trade, increased immigration, free capital movements, international law dominance, and the rise of global capital. This era has seen the emergence of cosmopolitan elites, known as Davos man, who prioritize internationalism over nationalism and view nationalist ideologies as backwards.
