Donald Trump and the Trump administration radically altered a
number of international policies and behaviors of the United
States, and changed the position of the United States on many
international agreements, including environmental agreements, trade
agreements, military agreements, and human rights agreements. This
book studies of the effect of those actions, and Trump's style of
behavior, on the standing of the United States in the global
community. In eighteen individual case studies the authors examine
traditional relationships between their countries and the United
States prior to the Trump election, including areas of tension and
traditional areas of agreement and cooperation. They address
expectations about what the outcome of the 2016 American election
would be, and the immediate reaction to the election's outcome.
They explore how responses to American policies varied in their
country, and whether any American initiatives were especially
controversial. And they explore how the relations between their
nation and the United States changed over the Trump years. The
authors reflect on whether anything was permanently lost or gained
by the end of the Trump years, and speculate on the lasting
consequences of Trump foreign policies and international behavior
for America's standing overseas.
This balanced and comprehensive text explores Israeli government
and politics from both institutional and behavioral perspectives.
After briefly discussing Israel's history and the early development
of the state, Gregory Mahler then examines the social, religious,
economic, cultural, and military contexts within which Israeli
politics takes place. He makes special note of Israel's
geopolitical situation of sharing borders with, and being proximate
to, several hostile Arab nations. The book explains the operation
of political institutions and behavior in Israeli domestic
politics, including the constitutional system and ideology,
parliamentary government, the prime minister and the Knesset,
political parties and interest groups, the electoral process and
voting behavior, and the machinery of government. Mahler also
considers Israel's foreign policy setting and apparatus, the
Palestinians and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the particularly
sensitive questions of Jerusalem and the Israeli settlement
movement, and the Middle East peace process overall. This clear and
concise text provides an invaluable starting point for all readers
needing a cogent introduction to Israel today.
