Faith, Politics, and the Environment: An Analysis of Religious Voter Guides and Presidential Debate Discourse on Climate Change in the 2020 U.S. Election 木谷, 佳楠 KITANI, Kanan キタニ, カナン Biden Trump evangelical presidential election climate change バイデン トランプ 福音派 大統領選挙 気候変動 近年、気候変動を巡る議論はアメリカの世論を二分している。気候変動に対する考え方の二分化が解決困難なのは、政党間の違いだけでなく、政党と共通する宗教的価値観が絡んでいるからである。この現象は、パリ協定への参加を巡る議論が激化した2020年の大統領選挙で特に顕著であった。この現状を踏まえ、本稿は2020年のアメリカ大統領選挙における気候変動を巡る言説に注目し、主に次の2つの疑問点を探るものである。2020年の大統領選挙において、民主党のバイデン候補と共和党のトランプ候補との間で、気候変動に対する考え方の違いはどの程度顕著だったのか。さらに、気候変動に懐疑的なキリスト教保守派は、どのようにその意思を表明し、広めようとしたのか。これらの疑問に対する答えを探るため、本稿ではまず、2020年大統領選挙におけるディベートを分析し、各党の大統領候補が気候変動に関する話題にどのように言及しているかを明らかにする。次に、有権者ガイドを発行しているキリスト教保守派団体に焦点を当て、彼らが気候変動に関する大統領候補者の立場をどのように有権者ガイドに取り入れているかを明らかにする。 In recent years, the debate over climate change has divided American public opinion. While not as heated a debate as topics surrounding gender and life, such as abortion and same-sex marriage, environmental policies related to climate change and other issues have divided the United States along political party lines. Such a divide became clearer when former Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore emerged as a champion of climate change with his 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth. What makes the dichotomy in attitudes toward the issue of climate change so difficult to resolve is not only the differences between political parties but also the religious values involved, which share lines with the political parties. Given this current situation, this paper focuses on the discourse surrounding climate change in the 2020 United States presidential election. It explores two main questions: How noticeable was the difference in attitudes toward climate change between the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, and the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, in the 2020 presidential election? Moreover, how did Christian conservatives skeptical of climate change make their intentions known and attempt to spread them? To seek answers to these questions, this paper will first analyze debates in the 2020 presidential election to determine how each party’s presidential candidates refer to topics related to climate change. Then, it will focus on Christian conservative groups that have published voter guides to determine how they incorporate the presidential candidates’ positions on climate change into their voter guides. By focusing on the discourse surrounding climate change in the 2020 presidential election, I aim to provide some points of interest, such as what topics will be on the agenda in the 2024 presidential debate and whether environmental issues will be discussed again or not. ja 2024-06-20 eng departmental bulletin paper https://doi.org/10.18878/0002000330 https://kobe-c.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2000330 10.18878/0002000330 神戸女学院大学論集 KOBE COLLEGE STUDIES 71 1 19 40 https://kobe-c.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/2000330/files/202406_192-03.pdf application/pdf 725 KB 2024-06-28
