Policy Series 2021-61: Militarized Policing in the Trump Era and Beyond

March 17, 2022March 9, 2022 By Erica De Bruin

After the killing of George Floyd in May 2020, demonstrations against police brutality and in support of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement broke out across the United States.[1] In response to the demonstrations, President Donald Trump sent federal police wearing camouflage and equipped with tactical gear to Portland, Oregon, Washington, D.C., and dozens of…

Policy Series 2021-60: Trump and Russia—Less than Meets the Eye

February 4, 2022January 28, 2022 By Angela Stent

After all the controversy, accusations, angry tweets, impeachment hearings, and conspiracy theories, how is the Trump administration’s Russia policy to be assessed? Russia consumed an unprecedented amount of domestic energy during Trump’s presidency, casting a shadow over the White House during the four years Trump lived there. And yet there has been scant systematic analysis…

Policy Series 2021-59: Racialized Threats and Security Rationales in U.S. Immigration Policies

January 21, 2022January 13, 2022 By Audie Klotz

In late August 2021, Afghans huddled in military airplanes amidst a massive evacuation. Crowds at the airport gates were denied access, then targeted by suicide bombers. These dramatic images encapsulate how security studies scholars typically view migration: refugees as a collateral consequence of conflict; innocent women and children in need of humanitarian assistance; asylum applicants…

Policy Series 2021-58: Liberal Internationalism and Partisan Discontents into the Post-Trump United States

November 25, 2021November 27, 2021 By George N. Georgarakis, Robert Y. Shapiro

We completed this article in September 2021, just as the Taliban defeated the American-supported government of Afghanistan, and the United States worked to transport all of its citizens out of the country along with the people of Afghanistan who worked for and with its troops, contractors, and officials.  On the liberal internationalism front, this is…

Policy Series 2021-57: Riding the Rollercoaster: India and the Trump Years

November 4, 2021November 2, 2021 By Tanvi Madan

On November 9, 2016, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called President-elect Donald Trump to congratulate him on his electoral victory.  Perhaps fittingly, news of this exchange first appeared on Twitter.[1] Subsequently, reports emerged in late November that then Indian foreign secretary Subrahmanyam Jaishankar was in the United States to meet with members of Trump’s transition…

Policy Series 2021-56: Death Grip Handshakes and Flattery Diplomacy: The Macron-Trump Connection and Its Larger Implications for Alliance Politics

October 20, 2021October 15, 2021 By Kathryn C. Statler

Forewarned by a number of other world leaders, French President Emmanuel Macron was well-prepared for the infamous Donald Trump handshake.  On 25 May 2017 at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Brussels, the two world leaders met for the first time.  With cameras clicking and video rolling, President Trump praised Macron’s “tremendous victory”…

Policy Series 2021-55: “Mr. Brexit”: Donald Trump and the UK’s Departure from the European Union

October 13, 2021October 7, 2021 By Lindsay Aqui

The two electoral shocks of 2016 – the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union (‘Brexit’) and Donald Trump’s election as President of the United States – left observers aghast or elated.  For those who found themselves in the former category, the outcome of the Brexit referendum represented a crisis that dwarfed any other…

Policy Series 2021-54: Stuck: “America First” and the Middle East

September 30, 2021September 30, 2021 By Patrick Porter

At the time of writing, it is only six months since Joe Biden became President of the United States.  Yet there is already one notable contrast between Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, that deserves more attention.  In a nutshell, Trump promised an overhaul of U.S. foreign policy but couldn’t deliver.  Biden is trying to…

Policy Series 2021-53: The Trump Administration and Economic Sanctions

September 23, 2021September 22, 2021 By Nicholas Mulder

Evaluating the significance and effects of economic sanctions is a serious challenge for scholars.  For one thing, appraising the outcomes of sanctions raises the question of perspective: from whose vantage point do we observe their use and effects?  While U.S. policymakers often change their approach to sanctions, to targeted countries the continuities in attitude are…

Policy Series 2021-52: The Trump “Legacy” for American Foreign Policy

September 22, 2021September 18, 2021 By Charles S. Maier

We cannot calculate President Trump’s “legacy” for United States foreign policy simply by describing his diplomacy while he was in power.  Virtuous fathers can fritter away family wealth, and Mafiosi can leave ill-gotten gains to charity.  It is still too early to know what long-term consequences might emerge, and it is difficult to sort out…
