Policy Series 2021-18: “Why Does Donald Trump Have So Much Trouble with the Truth? A Brief Update”

April 1, 2021March 25, 2021 By John Schuessler

Why does Donald Trump have so much trouble with the truth?  Not long after the beginning of Trump’s presidency, I weighed in with some thoughts on the matter, as part of H-Diplo’s “America and the World – 2017 and Beyond” series.[1]  In that essay, I made two primary claims.  First, with Trump it is difficult…

Policy Series 2021-17: The Trump Presidency and U.S. Workers: “America First” or America Diminished?

March 30, 2021March 25, 2021 By Elizabeth McKillen

When the Associated Press projected Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential race on November 7, I joined in the collective sigh of relief that issued forth from millions of Americans who had come to view Donald Trump as an existential threat to democracy.  Yet, like many, I remained puzzled that Trump still…

Policy Series 2021-16: Revisiting Historical Legacies of US Policy in the Middle East: The Trump Administration

March 25, 2021March 26, 2021 By James R. Stocker

It may not have been Donald Trump speaking, but it was perhaps the best possible statement of the case for his achievements in the Middle East.  Addressing the Republican National Convention on August 25, 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke in front of a backdrop of the old city of Jerusalem, praising Trump’s “America…

Policy Series 2021-15: U.S.-UK Relations in the Time of Trump

March 23, 2021March 23, 2021 By Kathleen Burk

In November 2016, I wrote an essay for H-Diplo on the possible impact of the Trump administration on U.S.-UK relations.[1]  My first paragraph included the following sentences: “If Trump himself knows what he truly plans to do – as opposed to what he would truly like to do – he has hidden it from the…

Policy Series 2021-13: Trump’s Foreign Policy Legacy

March 12, 2021March 6, 2021 By Joshua Busby, Jonathan Monten

Four years ago, we wrote that Donald Trump’s presidency could spell the end of an already weakened liberal international order.[1] Now that the Trump presidency is in the rearview mirror, what can we make of what transpired for U.S. foreign policy and the global order?  In this essay, we review what we wrote four years…

Policy Series 2021-11: “America First” Meets Liberal Internationalism

March 5, 2021March 4, 2021 By Stephen Chaudoin, Helen V. Milner, Dustin Tingley

Candidate Trump, and then President Trump, advocated for a dramatic change in the direction of American foreign policy, which he labelled “America First.” His vision stood in stark contrast to the liberal internationalism (LI) pursued by most presidents since World War II.  For Trump, unilateralism would replace multilateralism; retrenchment would replace global engagement; pursuit of…

Policy Series 2021-10: More of the Same, and Worse: Revisiting Donald Trump and the Limits of International Law

March 4, 2021February 26, 2021 By Matthew Evangelista

By the time he lost his bid for reelection, President Donald Trump had fulfilled many of his campaign promises regarding international law.  On trade policy, he abolished the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and replaced it with a revised U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), and he launched a tariff war with China in hopes of making…

Policy Series 2012-8: 2016 Revisited: The Trump Presidency in Perspective

February 18, 2021February 11, 2021 By T.G. Otte

Unlike, perhaps, any previous occupant of the Oval Office, the election of the 45th president of the United States in 2016 triggered intense soul-searching in America, and this introspective exercise is likely to continue for some time yet.  Unfit for office in the first place, far from being tamed by the weight of his responsibilities,…

Policy Series 2021-7: The Trump Experiment Revisited

February 11, 2021February 11, 2021 By Robert Jervis

Four years ago, I wrote that the Trump presidency would provide a test for many IR theories.[1]  It was clear from Trump’s campaign and his personal style that both his policy preferences and his methods of operation were outside of the political mainstream, and indeed this was a major part of his appeal to voters,…

Policy Series 2021-6: Reflections on The Trump Years

February 4, 2021February 10, 2021 By Nancy Mitchell

Culture shock.  I have long encouraged students to take a semester abroad not just to learn about another country but to experience culture shock.  The shock, I explain, is useful.  It forces us to realize that some assumptions that are so ingrained that we consider them facts of human existence are, in reality, culturally contingent…
