Governing as Campaigning: Der permanente Wahlkampf in den USA

  • Chapter
Wahlkampf um das Weiße Haus

Zusammenfassung

Der permanente Wahlkampf ist seit den frühen achtziger Jahren zur Signatur des politischen Wettbewerbs und der politischen Kommunikationspraxis der Vereinigten Staaten geworden.1 Permanenter Wahlkampf meint zum einen den Übergang zu einem medienzentrierten und kampagneorientierten Politikstil in Form einer “cyclical proliferation of electoral and policy campaigns” 2,zum anderen ein Selbstverständnis der Regierungen, in dem „marketing as a governing tool“ einen unverzichtbaren Bestandteil des politischen Aufmerksamkeits- und Akzeptanzmanagements darstellt.3 Eine dritte Deutung des permanenten Wahlkampfes spricht den steigenden Einfluss professioneller Politikberater auf das Timing politischer Entscheidungen und inhaltliche Politikformulierung an, die sich etwa im Weißen Haus unter Präsident Clinton wesentlich auf Daten exzessiver telephonischer Befragungsserien abstützte.4
