Policy Series: “Trumpism, History, and the Future of U.S. Foreign Relations”

April 18, 2017September 4, 2017 By Frank Ninkovich

Trying to make critical sense of the current state of foreign affairs is treacherous business for anyone, but for an historian it comes close to pursuing a death wish. Even with all the advantages of hindsight, the past remains shrouded to varying degrees, while decoding the present is like trying to see through a blinding…

Policy Series: Is Donald Trump Jimmy Carter, or is he Kaiser Wilhelm II?

April 13, 2017September 4, 2017 By Nancy Mitchell

These are tough times for historians. I’m referring not just to the proposed elimination of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Wilson Center, but to the more profound psychological sense that I have experienced, as President Donald Trump has overtaken the news cycle, of freefall. I am grappling for a toehold.

Policy Series: Neoliberalism, the Decline of Diplomacy, and the Rise of the Global Right

April 12, 2017September 4, 2017 By Penny M. Von Eschen

In 1993, the Czechoslovakian poet-and-playwright-turned-president Václav Havel declared that “the fate of the so-called West is today being decided in the so-called East.” Havel warned that “if the West does not find the key to us…or to those somewhere far away who have extricated themselves from communist domination, it will ultimately lose the key to…

Policy Series: The Trump Administration and Syria

April 5, 2017December 24, 2020 By Danny Orbach

A famous Jewish joke tells of a pauper who used to buy food and drink on credit, without ever paying his bills. Finally, after one year of default, the innkeeper refused to serve him. The pauper, his face red, banged his fist on the table and said in an ominous tone: “if you leave me…

Policy Series: Will Trump’s Nationalism Change American Foreign Policy? A Review Essay on Charlie Laderman and Brendan Simms’s Donald Trump: The Making of a Worldview. (Endeavor Press, 2017).

April 4, 2017April 2, 2017 By Paul D. Miller

Donald Trump’s presidency will be an ideal case study for a question that is as old as the discipline of international relations: do individuals matter? Structural realism has long held that variation among individual policymakers has little impact on the behavior of states compared to structural features of the international system, such as the distribution…

Policy Series: “The End of American Liberal Internationalism?”

March 30, 2017September 4, 2017 By Tony Smith

One hundred years ago this month, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was agonizing over whether to enter World War I. Just a few months earlier, Wilson had won re-election partly by campaigning on a policy of neutrality, which he was now preparing to abandon, along with the slogan ‘America first.’ But now, for the first time…

Policy Series: Trump’s Ascendancy as History

March 28, 2017January 22, 2021 By Ryan Irwin

How did this happen? Donald Trump—a real estate mogul with a television show and no political experience—is America’s forty-fifth president. “Those that did not foresee” his ascendancy “are going to find it hard to discipline themselves to a balanced projection of his forthcoming first term,” Jonathan Haslam declared in a recent ISSF/H-Diplo essay.[1] I’m in…

Policy Roundtable 1-7: Russia and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election

March 26, 2017June 30, 2018 By Joshua Rovner, Jon R. Lindsay, Kimberly Marten, Lindsey A. O’Rourke

No one is sure what effect Russia had on the 2016 presidential election. The U.S. intelligence community and private sector cybersecurity firms are confident that Russian intelligence agencies sponsored efforts to steal and release information from the Democratic National Committee, and from Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta. The stolen emails were mostly…

Policy Series: The Madman Myth: Trump and the Bomb

March 22, 2017June 30, 2018 By Todd S. Sechser, Matthew Fuhrmann

President Donald Trump has now assumed control over the nation’s arsenal of more than 4,000 nuclear weapons. What will he do with them? We do not yet know the Trump administration’s approach to nuclear strategy, but Trump has offered some clues to his mindset. He has denounced nuclear arms control, declaring that he would welcome…

Policy Series: Leaking about Donald Trump in the Age of False News

March 21, 2017September 4, 2017 By Sam Lebovic

Rumors of a Russian connection with the Trump administration continue to proliferate and leaks from the intelligence agencies show no signs of stopping.  The Trump administration responds with accusations of its own; most recently, that Trump was illegally wire-tapped on the orders of President Barack Obama. We are far from the bottom of any of…
