This deeply researched book offers a comprehensive analysis of the
domestic politics and international consequences of Trump's foreign
policy. Mel Gurtov provides detailed case studies of policy toward
key countries and regions, including China, Russia, North Korea,
Europe, and the Middle East. He makes a vigorous argument, centered
on human-interest priorities and values, for rejecting a foreign
policy of neglect and ineptness when it comes to the major issues
of our times: climate change, China's rise, multiple US wars, human
rights, authoritarian leadership, and nuclear weapons. Gurtov
argues that Trump is a nationalist and illiberal populist whose
policy views have been molded chiefly by his business practices,
leading to an obsession with "winning," elevation of ego and
loyalty over expertise, and preference for threats over diplomacy.
Trump holds to a few simple ideas about the US role in the world:
too expensive, too subject to other countries and institutions, and
too influenced by "globalist" concerns such as democracy, climate
crisis, human rights, and the rule of law. Trump will leave a
deeply negative mark on the reputation and credibility of the
United States, and on its policy-making process. But Gurtov
concludes that a liberal successor should be able to reverse the
worst features of the Trump era and restore foreign policy to its
true purpose: exemplifying America's commitment to humane and
democratic governance and cooperative economic relations with
allies and economic partners.
