Conference: Election 2016 (In Historical and Comparitive Perspective)

Friday, October 21, 2016
9:15 a.m. 鈥 7:00 p.m.
Heights Room, Corcoran Commons

The 2016 Presidential campaign promises to be the most exciting and perhaps the most significant in recent history. The major parties disagree more than they have since the 1930s. Divisions within the two parties are also greater than scholars and commentators, and politicians, can remember. Both Republicans and Democrats have experienced insurgencies that have explicitly aimed to topple party 鈥渆stablishments,鈥 and the insurgent candidate actually won the Republican nomination. The contest between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is likely to be more bitter and nasty than Americans have experienced in their lifetimes. And, most important, the consequences of the vote on November 8th听could be enormous. A Clinton victory would in theory be a vote for continuity, but in a fragile and volatile world change is inevitable, while a triumph for Trump would be a huge shock and would portend major shifts in domestic policy and in America鈥檚 role in the world. Neither party will be the same after the 2016 election, and significant rethinkings and realignments could be in the offing.
