从骷髅会管窥精英家族势力对美国政治的影响

The Influence of the Elite Family Forces on American Politics from the Perspective of Skull and Bones

骷髅会是存在于耶鲁大学校园内的神秘精英社团,通过其内部的精英家族对美国政治有着特定的影响力。骷髅会的创立、运行和发展离不开精英家族的人力、物力和财力的支持,这些精英家族也借助骷髅会构建起来的关系网增强自身对美国政治结构和政治过程的控制。西方社会并非我们想象中的同构的原子化社会,在所谓公民社会的表象下,还存在着不为外人所知的精英家族、秘密社团、宗教团体等,而这些则构成了影响美国政治和社会结构的深层次力量。

Skull and Bones is a mysterious elite society in Yale University,which has a certain influence on American politics through its internal elite families. The founding,operation and development is inseparable from the support of the human,material and financial resources of elite families,which can also enhance their control of the American political structure and the political process by the relationships that they have built up. Western society is not homogeneously atomized society in our imagination,and under the appearance of the so-called citizen society,there are still a plurality of elite families,secret societies,religious groups unknown to us,all of which constitute the deep-seated forces of influencing American political and social structures.
