全球地缘政治风险Outlook H1 2023 Report: Nationalism & Societal Polarization Spotlight
Report Summary
Morning Consult’s Global Geopolitical Risk Outlook Report provides a comprehensive, data-driven assessment of public attitudes toward key issues at the intersection of politics and economics across 18 of the world’s largest markets. This companion spotlight, focused on nationalism and societal polarization, provides insight into public views on nationalism and isolationism, as well as public attitudes on support for immigration and trust in compatriots.
Key Takeaways
-
National Pride: Globally, our survey proxy for nationalism — whether people are proud to live in their country — remained relatively unchanged over 2022, with majorities agreeing across the G-20
-
Isolationism: Political and economic pressures linked to the war in Ukraine have not substantially increased global appetites for isolationism, but more people still prefer it than don’t
-
Immigration: On average, the war in Ukraine has had little clear impact on attitudes toward immigration, though continental Europeans remain broadly opposed
-
Societal Trust: Despite substantial political polarization, majorities of respondents across much of the G-20 continue to trust their compatriots, with shares holding relatively steady over 2022
