With the United States cutting aid, scrapping international agreements, and waging war on rules-based systems and arrangements that it built, questions about the future of the global order have gained new urgency. Though America may be replaceable in some areas, others may become a new Wild West.
PS Quarterly regularly features short responses from experts on topics of global concern, and this time we examine the implications of US President Donald Trump’s foreign policy. Although America’s role as the custodian of the international rules-based order was never as straightforward as its proponents believe, it at least represented an ideal against which to set expectations and measure successes and failures in global governance. But since Trump’s return, that ideal – like so many others – has been cast aside, lending new urgency to long-simmering questions.
