Policy Series 2021-51: “Sh*thole Countries”: Was Trump’s Foreign Policy Racist?

September 14, 2021September 14, 2021 By William I. Hitchcock

Throughout his years in the public eye, former president Donald Trump has frequently said things that reveal his belief that the construct of ‘race’ is a valid measure of human difference and human worth.  In countless public utterances, he has used racist, derogatory language to insult, belittle, and abuse non-white people.  He has also conflated…

Policy Series 2021-50: Joe Biden, American Democracy, and the China Challenge

September 8, 2021September 2, 2021 By James Goldgeier

President Joe Biden has called the current moment an “inflection point,” both domestically and internationally.[2] In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, some forces within the Republican Party have made clear that they no longer believe democracy is in the best interests of their party.  Rather than adjusting their message and policies to broaden…

Policy Series 2021-49: Donald Trump and the Return of Relative Gains: Should We Rethink the Neo-Neo Synthesis?

August 2, 2021July 30, 2021 By Linde Desmaele

“It’s the economy, stupid!” While this phrase was initially coined by Democratic Party nominee Bill Clinton’s campaign to emphasize the importance of a struggling domestic US economy in the presidential race of the early 1990s, today, it appears applicable to the international realm as well.[1] For several decades, IR scholars have drawn a separation between…

Policy Series 2021-48: Fences Make Bad Hombres: Trump in Latin America

July 27, 2021July 22, 2021 By Christy Thornton

It starts, of course, with the wall.  From its earliest moments, the campaign of Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States was predicated on hardening the border between the United States and Mexico, and by extension, between the United States and Latin America—the border where, as Gloria Anzaldúa wrote more than three decades…

Policy Series 2021-47: The Trump Presidency in Historical Perspective

July 20, 2021July 16, 2021 By John A. Thompson

In my 2017 essay I did not venture any predictions about how Donald Trump would behave as president, or the extent to which he would wish (or be able) to re-shape the character of U.S. foreign policy according to his own views.[1] Rather, I focused on the evident public appeal of his call to put…

Policy Series 2021-46: Lifting the Veil on Racial Capitalism: American Foreign Policy Before and After Trump

July 14, 2021July 9, 2021 By H-Diplo

Donald J. Trump is often viewed as an aberration, or at the very least as someone whose presidency signaled a decisive shift in U.S. politics.  A showman with little political experience, he was elected by a narrow margin on the back of “protest votes” by millions disillusioned by the established status quo.[1] Whilst some worry…

Policy Series 2021-45: Swaggering Home: Trump, Grenell, and Pompeo in Conflict with Germany

July 6, 2021July 2, 2021 By William Glenn Gray

Everyone saw the photo of President Donald Trump and Chancellor Angela Merkel glaring at one another during the G-7 summit in Quebec in June 2018.  Trump, seated, looked stubborn and impetuous; Merkel leaned forward across the table in stern disapproval.  The photo went viral after being tweeted out by the Chancellor’s press chief, Steffen Seibert…

Policy Series 2021-44: When Donald Met Washington: The Genesis of ‘Great Power Competition’

July 1, 2021July 1, 2021 By Emma Ashford

Washington’s foreign policy community had a love-hate relationship with President Donald Trump.  They hated many of his foreign policy ideas so much that hundreds of Republican former officials and foreign policy experts signed open letters arguing that “he would use the authority of his office to act in ways that make America less safe, and…

Policy Series 2021-43: America First? The Erosion of American Status under Trump

June 29, 2021July 1, 2021 By Michelle Murray

How has the Trump presidency affected the status of the United States as the leader of the current international order?  When Donald Trump assumed the presidency on January 20, 2017, few could have predicted what the next four years would mean for U.S. standing in the world.  What was almost certain was that Trump’s approach…

Policy Series 2021-42: Trump’s Limited Legacy

June 25, 2021June 29, 2021 By Lawrence Freedman

Donald Trump’s final disgraceful weeks in office displayed him at his narcissistic worst, encouraging the storming of the Capitol by his supporters, and leaving a legacy of damaging claims about the electoral process that will take time to dispel.  Though the manner of his going was shocking it was not surprising.  Inflammatory rhetoric, extravagant promises,…
