The Trump Doctrine Against Neoliberal Globalism A European Perspective 1st Edition Borislav Tsekov by Borislav Tsekov instant download after payment.

What is the ideological clash that shook the United States and the world after Donald J. Trump became president? Is it a rebellion against the elites? This book presents an enlightened, provocative, bold and accurately grounded analysis of the causes of the erosion of neoliberal globalism and the political alternative offered by President Donald J. Trump's political doctrine. The first chapter, "The Rebellion Against the Superclass," addresses some of the reasons for the deep gap between the dominant "superclass" of global capitalism and the vast majority of societies in Europe and America. It outlines some of the larger manifestations of resistance and rebellion against this status quo that come from the political left and right, as well as the US turnaround - the presidential election in 2016. The second chapter, "Neoliberal Globalism," focuses on the evolution and conceptual characteristics of the dominant ideology of neoliberal globalism, and its alternative - the Trump Doctrine. It studies the differences between neoliberalism and the classic laissez-faire liberalism and reveals the symbiosis of neoliberal economic principles with the neoconservative geopolitical vision and progressive identity politics. The third chapter, "The Trump Doctrine," traces the long road of Donald Trump to the White House from entering the catalog of potential presidential nominations with the Oprah Winfrey interview in 1988 until the election victory in 2016. It outlines the ideas that Trump has consistently and publicly expressed over the years, including in his four books on socio-political issues. The chapter describes the main stances in the Trump Doctrine as a negation of neoliberal globalization - sovereignty, economic nationalism, and also principled realism, competition, and reciprocity in the international arena. It makes a comparative analysis of the National Security Strategy adopted by the Trump administration in December 2017 and the previous strategies of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. The chapter also presents - though without making a comprehensive catalog of what has happened - the Trump Doctrine in action during the first two years of the presidential term. It focuses on those changes aimed at dismantling neoliberal globalism and building a new geopolitical architecture in the world. Also, the full text of some of Donald Trump's program speeches is presented to enable everyone to make their judgments about his political ideas and actions.
