From the Administrative Presidency to Personalist Consolidation: Trumpism and Executive Control of the Regulatory State
Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay investigates the evolving relationship between Trumpism and the United States regulatory state, focusing on how Donald Trump has reshaped American administrative governance to one of personalist consolidation. Drawing on scholarship of the administrative presidency, I argue that Trumpism represents a strategic fusion of structural deregulation in sectors like environmental protection, energy, and finance with robust state intervention in domains tied to a right‐wing populist definition of national sovereignty. Trumpism reflects a personalist style of governance rooted in the exploitation of institutional tools of the administrative presidency that have developed across both Democratic and Republican administrations over the past century. By situating Trump within the broader institutional evolution of executive power, I highlight how his manipulation of the regulatory state entrenches executive dominance and preserves an illiberal reform in governance through electoral legitimation paired with the erosion of liberal‐democratic accountability standards in administration.

从行政总统制到个人化巩固:特朗普主义与监管型国家的行政控制
摘要
本文考察特朗普主义与美国监管型国家之间不断演变的关系,重点关注唐纳德·特朗普如何将美国行政治理重塑为一种个人化巩固。借助关于行政总统制的既有研究,我认为,特朗普主义代表了一种战略融合:一方面在环境保护、能源和金融等部门推行结构性放松管制,另一方面在与右翼民粹主义对主权界定相关的领域实施强有力的国家干预。特朗普主义体现了一种个人化的治理风格,其根源在于对过去一个世纪中民主党和共和党政府共同发展起来的行政总统制制度工具的利用。通过将特朗普置于行政权力更广泛的制度演进之中,我强调他对监管型国家的操弄如何巩固了行政支配地位,并通过选举合法性配以行政领域中自由民主问责标准的侵蚀,使一种非自由主义的治理改革得以维系。
