从社会文化视角看1996年美国总统大选

AMERICAN '96 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN VIEWWED FROM A SOCIO-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE

一 比尔·克林顿在美国历史上一次缺乏戏剧性的大选中以49％的选民票(45,628,667)、379张选举人票击败罗伯特·多尔(37,869,435,占41％选民票,159张选举人票),而连任美国总统。

The author analyzes the American 1996 presidential campaign from a socio-cultural perspective and, by observing the politico-cultural phenomena on the American political scene, concludes that Bill Clinton well grasps the opportunity of a general return to traditional values in American society. His success is attributed to his modulation of stand and militant centrism in signing the Re-publican welfare reform bill and the support from the Afro -Americans.
