Trump Administration

Nicht erst seit der Präsidentschaft und Außenpolitik von Donald Trump gibt es gute Gründe zu vermuten, dass die Kontestation innerstaatlicher Ordnung in den USA im Zeitverlauf so stark variieren kann, dass ihre (zeitweilige) Illiberalität die Stabilität einer liberalen internationalen Ordnung untergraben kann. Die in diesem Literaturreview diskutierten Werke deuten auf einen Wandel von formalen und informellen Institutionen und deren Interaktion im (außen-)politischen Prozess der USA hin. Es werden gezielt Monographien und Sammelbände in den Blick genommen, welche die Innenpolitik der amerikanischen Außenpolitik adressieren und die US- Politik daraufhin untersuchen, inwiefern die parteipolitische Polarisierung und die populistische Außenpolitik der Trump-Administration, die Beziehungen zu zentralen Partnern und Kontrahenten in zwei zentralen Weltregionen (Europa und Asien) verändern. Das Literaturreview bietet erste Bausteine für ein Forschungsprogramm an, welches die innenpolitischen Veränderungen in den USA systematisch mit der Rolle der USA gegenüber anderen Staaten und nichtstaatlichen Akteuren verbindet.

Trump Administration

In June 2017, President Donald Trump announced a plan to roll back various steps taken by his predecessor toward normalizing relations between the United States and Cuba. A senior official for the administration announced the plan in a White House press briefing:The President vowed to reverse the Obama administration policies toward Cuba that have enriched the Cuban military regime and increased the repression on the island. It is a promise that President Trump made, and it's a promise that President Trump is keeping.With this is a readjustment of the United States policy towards Cuba. And you will see that, going forward, the new policy under the Trump administration, will empower the Cuban people. To reiterate, the new policy going forward does not target the Cuban people, but it does target the repressive members of the Cuban military government.

This chapter provides a detailed chronology of MBS and MBZ’s respective ascents. Firstly, their dynastic advantages are considered, along with their apparent early career ambitions and accomplishments. Secondly, their charismatic personalities and their relative youth are discussed, including the erection of charismatic facades by their supporters. Thirdly, their ability to position themselves as proponents of major economic reforms and long-term ‘visions’ during periods of economic crisis are emphasized. Fourthly, their capacity to repair Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s international reputations vis-à-vis the historical funding and support of terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda and (in Saudi Arabia’s case) the Islamic State is investigated. Finally, the apparent mentor-mentee relationship between the more established MBZ and the younger MBS is examined, alongside their recent support from the Donald Trump administration.

This chapter explores the creation of Checks and Balances, a new group of conservative legal critics of the Trump administration. From his racist attack on the federal district judge ruling on the Trump University case and suspicions that he would appoint his own sister to the Supreme Court, to his threats to revise libel law so as to silence his rivals and his nearly total lack of constitutional discussion, Donald Trump was almost no prominent conservative lawyer's first choice. Once he dispatched all his Republican rivals, however, conservative lawyers were in a quandary. The death of Antonin Scalia, the most celebrated conservative jurist of his generation and a leader of the conservative legal movement, put the future of the Supreme Court squarely on the ballot. Once the character of Trump's governance became clear, Checks and Balances emerged to criticize the administration's legal conduct.

The Donald Trump administration has engaged in a number of crimes related to climate change. This article examines these climate crimes, in particular, the administration’s organized denial of global warming and its political omissions concerning the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions that result in the rollback of existing regulatory policies related to the climate crisis. This criminality is explored through the lens of the concept of state–corporate crime, a concept utilized by a number of green criminologists to analyze environmental harms. The Trump administration’s rollback of climate change regulations is first located within its historical, political, and social contexts. Then, the specific actions and political omissions that constitute these rollbacks are described and analyzed as state–corporate environmental crimes.

The use of political magic is one of the remarkable and unexpected cultural features to emerge from the 2016 presidential election in the United States. Using a combination of digital and face-to-face ethnography, this article explores the emergence of a movement dedicated to resisting the Donald Trump administration through witchcraft and magic. Applying the lens of Italian ethnologist Ernesto de Martino, it argues that the 2016 election created a “crisis of presence” for many left-leaning Americans who experienced it as a failure of agency. Their turn to magic was in response to feelings of anxiety and helplessness. Drawing from the approach of anthropologist James C. Scott, it analyzes magic as an art of resistance, an aesthetic, performative, as well as political response. Finally, it examines the fissures within the magical resistance as clashes in ethics, aesthetics, and beliefs associated with magic came to the fore, effectively splintering the magic resistance movement and rendering it less effective.

Subject China's options for retaliating against US firms during trade tensions. Significance US President Donald Trump tweeted yesterday that he is working with China's President Xi Jinping to get China's telecoms giant, ZTE, "back in business, fast" -- even though it was penal US sanctions that forced the company to announce last week that it was stopping operations. The Trump administration is divided on whether its objective in threatening imports tariffs on Chinese goods worth 50 billion dollars, effective May 22, is to strike a deal to cut China's trade surplus with the United States or to change China's industrial practices. Impacts Compliance costs will rise even if trade tensions subside. Investors in industries that China sees as strategic (eg, semiconductors and integrated circuits) may face unwritten screening rules. Investors in automobile, aircraft and shipping manufacturing and finance may find new opportunities to enter the market.

Subject US agribusiness outlook. Significance The farm state of Iowa is being suggested as a symbolic location for President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to sign phase one of a trade pact this year. Around 15% of Iowa’s GDP comes from revenue from crops, animals and other agricultural products, and any trade deal that the Trump administration strikes with Beijing is likely to include substantial Chinese purchases of US farm produce. Impacts Farming families on all but the largest farms will be under pressure to raise more non-farming income. To gain scale, farms will continue to specialise, either growing crops or raising livestock; fewer farms will produce both. Opportunities for leased services such as soil preparation and harvesting will rise as farmers seek to reduce capital equipment costs. More affordable and accessible robots will help small and medium-sized farms to close the productivity gap with farms with more technology. Agritourism will become a source of new revenue for many farms.
