“…And yet Ronna McDaniel—Trump's hand‐picked chair for the party in 2017—sought and won a third 2‐year term in January of 2021, having already served in that capacity throughout Trump's 4 years in the presidency. Her predecessor, Reince Priebus, had previously served 6 years in the job, but all of those years were with a Democrat (Obama) in the White House (Korte 2021). One earlier national chair, Frank Fahrenkopf, also lasted 6 years, all while Ronald Reagan was president.…”

“…But something was radically different this time. Normally, a losing presidential candidate has little sway over the party organization, and most do not even try (Korte 2021; Holland 2020). But this time, Trump (who, admittedly, was still unwilling to admit publicly that he had lost the election) weighed in with a strong endorsement for McDaniel.…”

“…Also elected to another term was Trump loyalist Tommy Hicks as vice chair of the party. Hicks—a long‐time Trump friend and co‐organizer of Trump's super PAC—easily defeated three other candidates “in what was widely viewed as a proxy fight over Trump's role in the party” (Korte 2021; see also McCormick 2021). A non‐Trump supporter was re‐elected as treasurer over a more pro‐Trump challenger, but “only narrowly” in spite of being the incumbent (McCormick 2021).…”

BackgroundThe purposes of this article are to (1) detail the extent to which the Republican Party personalized in the period from Donald Trump's first becoming a presidential candidate through 2022 and the process by which it occurred, (2) suggest plausible explanatory factors, and (3) speculate as to possible consequences.MethodsThe authors employ this special issue's common conceptual framework and glean evidence from a broad accumulation of reportage and expert impressions from professional journalists.Results and conclusionIt is found that “Trumpization” invaded all aspects of the Grand Old Party, with de‐institutionalization encompassing both de‐routinization and value‐displacement affecting all faces of the party: as organization, in elective office, and in the electorate.

“…He makes a comparison with Roediger’s (1991) study of 18th and 19th century European migrants in the USA to show their relational positioning in the complex social relations encountered through migration. For Eastern Europeans in the UK, these notions of hierarchies and ‘inbetweenness’ also force us to confront the postcolonial power dynamics within Europe vis-à-vis the relational positioning of north/west Europe and its ‘backward’, exotic eastern other (Buchowski, 2006; Burrell, 2011) – a perpetual trope in British culture, literature and film (Korte et al., 2010). Importantly, this is an othering which is anchored in geopolitical imaginaries as well as racialised, class intersectionalities.…”

At the same time it is worth considering the intertwining of race and place. The notion of 'leftbehind' places, which has surfaced after the Referendum, can itself suggest that some localities are less developed, 'backward' and lacking a cosmopolitan, global aesthete. In a sophisticated critique of such power-laden tropes, Tomaney (2013: 658) has argued in defence of 'parochialism' seeking to 'rescue local attachments and a sense of belonging from comopolites', but in ways that are not necessarily reactionary or exclusive. A further way in which we might creatively rethink place outside of the familiar rubric of developed/underdeveloped, advanced/'left behind', core/periphery, cosmopolitan/parochial is through considering the relational, contingent, co-production of place. This can be found in postcolonial work that seeks to 'provincialize Europe' (Chakrabarty, 2000), develop an interrelated 'comparative urbanism' (Robinson and Roy, 2016) and appreciate how the imaginative scripting of the 'Orient' was symbolically and materially essential to how Europe constructed its own sense of self (Said, 1978). Some of these postcolonial interventions are differently taken forward in Katz's ( 2001) study of young lives in Sudan and New York. Here, Katz generatively deploys the notion of 'counter-topography' to connect seemingly disparate places and processes together, thereby demonstrating how 'growing up global' is about how global processes interact with the social and material facets of place. These are just some of the many ways in which policymakers and academics might rethink, rework and ultimately reconnect with people and places that have too often have gone marginalised or ignored.
