Abstract

At almost every election, Americans are inclined to say that this is the most consequential election in American history. 2020 is no exception. However, what is particularly remarkable about the November election in the United States is that it does not only have great significance for the people living in the United States, but potentially also the entire global community. There is every likelihood that this election will redefine the American political culture and its institutional norms, for the better or worse. But how will it also affect the rest of the world?
