Abstract
亚历山大·贝茨说:“我们都未曾意识到我们社会中的分歧有多大,英国脱欧显示了英国社会深层次的对于全球化的恐惧和渴望之间的对立。我们现在要如何解决对全球化的恐惧,以及伴随政治建设产生的与日俱增的不安情绪, 同时又不使自身陷入排外主义和民族主义的阴霾中呢?一起聆听贝茨带来跨向更包容世界的四部曲。
Structure
I want to take a step back and ask two very basic questions.
First, what does Brexit represent, not just for my country, but for all of us around the world?
And second, what can we do about it?
The fault line of contemporary politics is between those that embrace globalization and those that fear globalization.
It was a real shock to me, and it suggested that people like me who think of ourselves as inclusive, open and tolerant, perhaps don't know our own countries and societies nearly as well as we like to believe.
The glass house of globalization has to be open to all if it is to remain secure.
Bigotry and ignorance are the ugly face of exclusionary and antagonistic globalization.
Contemporary politics is no longer just about right and left. It's no longer just about tax and spend. It's about globalization. The fault line of contemporary politics is between those that embrace globalization and those that fear globalization.
But for a significant majority of the Leave voters the concern was disillusionment with the political establishment. This was a protest vote for many, a sense that nobody represented them, that they couldn't find a political party that spoke for them, and so they rejected that political establishment. This replicates around Europe and much of the liberal democratic world. We see it with the rise in popularity of Donald Trump in the United States, with the growing nationalism of Viktor Orbán in Hungary, with the increase in popularity of Marine Le Pen in France.
For all of us who care about creating liberal, open, tolerant societies, we urgently need a new vision, a vision of a more tolerant, inclusive globalization, one that brings people with us rather than leaving them behind.
It's been suggested that we've moved to a post-factual society, where evidence and truth no longer matter, and lies have equal status to the clarity of evidence.

4.they may be unpersuaded by the narrative that we find persuasive in our often liberal bubbles. It means that we need to reach out more broadly and understand.
5. To take the example of migration, we know that immigration is a net positive for the economy as a whole under almost all circumstances. That doesn't detract from the fact that it's positive, but it means more people have to share in those benefits.
