什么是Davos man?
Davos Man is a neologism which refers to the global elite of wealthy people whose members view themselves as completely international. Davos is an Alpine city in eastern Switzerland which became famous in the 1990s for hosting the World Economic Forum, an annual gathering of international politicians and financiers who represented a transnational elite.
Davos Men supposedly see their entity as a matter of personal choice, not an accent of birth. According to political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, who is credited with inventing the phrase "Davos Man.they are people who "have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as resues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the élite's global operations". In his 2004 article "Dead Souls: The Denationalization of the American Elite," he argues that this international perspective is a minority elitist position not shared by the nationalist majority of the people.
John Fonte of the Hudson Institute has suggested that the transnational eology of Davos Man represents a major challenge to Francis Fukuyama's assertion that liberal democracy represents the fulfillment of The End of History and the Last Man.
Hernando de Soto Polar of the Institute for Liberty and Democracy attributes a similar concept to Henri Braudel, referring to it as the "bell jar". Although internationally connected, each country's elite lives in a bell jar in the sense of being out of touch with its own populace. Their isolation fosters a tendency to be oblivious to the fate of their fellow citizens.
Davos man——達沃斯人,是那些擁護全球化,在世界范圍內行走并且真正具有全球意識及高端能力的國際化優秀人士。也是是優雅、專業、敬業的代名詞。
Davos man的由來與發展:
上個世紀,達沃斯以其天然的好環境而聞名世界。
位于瑞士東部河谷格勞賓登州(Graubunden)的達沃斯(Davos),是一個海拔高達1560米的山中谷地,高聳的阿爾卑斯山擋住北方吹來的風,使這里陽光充沛,又沒有嘈雜的喧囂。
100年后,達沃斯作為地名已經淡出,最讓人們記起這個地方的是每年一度以其名字命名的“世界經濟論壇”。
今天的這個“達沃斯”屬于誰呢?
是那個能吸引全球的頂級政商大佬們齊聚一堂的瑞士洛桑管理學院普通教授——施瓦布?還是將從阿爾卑斯山間小鎮轉移到中國的海濱城市的來自近100個國家和地區的數千名政府首腦、知名企業家以及社會團體的領導人?
9月10日,夏季達沃斯將再次來到大連。
世界經濟論壇北京代表處的首席代表韋瑞龍(ChristopheWe-ber)說:“達沃斯論壇是一場思維的盛宴,并不屬于某個人或者群體?!?/P>
在達沃斯論壇上,“達沃斯人”優雅、專業、敬業的個人形象為很多職業男女提供了禮儀榜樣。對于類似他們這樣常年行走在國際舞臺上的人來說,掌握必備的全球職場社交禮法,是提高自身形象和身份地位的制勝法寶。因為,一點點社交技巧就有可能影響到他們的一筆大生意。
在達沃斯論壇上,世界各地的精英薈萃。雖然每個國家的文化和習俗都有所不同。但是,當來自全球各地的人會集到一起時,會議的氣氛卻是如此和諧。每個人都是各自國家的“名片”,每個人也都是各自企業的“名片”,他們的一言一行都代表了一種文化和一種氣質。
“達沃斯人”已經把這些禮儀當成了一種習慣,因為他們明白,機遇可能會隨時出現。在飛機上,同桌的人有可能將來會成為重要的合作伙伴。在路上,一個陌生人的一句玩笑也有可能提供一個很好的思路。而在達沃斯論壇這樣的國際場合,每一個人的每一句話都有可能成為一句非常重要的忠告和提示。這些,都會帶來更多的機遇。
