Trump and the Anti-Globalization Rebalancing Within the West
Trump and the Anti-Globalization Rebalancing Within the West

Summary/Abstract: President’s Trumps international agenda can be viewed as a part of a wider political shift, which undermines the current liberal global order and places more emphasis on the nation state. Events such as Brexit, Matteo Renzi’s lost referendum, the general strengthening of far-right and populist parties are often cited in this context. The politicians described as populists or nationalists are still not a dominant force in most of the elections in developed countries. However, a new divide that moves beyond the post-war left-right division can be clearly observed and variously described. This study will propose the notions of two ideological camps: globalism and localism (with a special focus on national-localism). It will also examine the first year of president Trump’s presidency using the historical analysis tools proposed by Harold James and Stephen Skowronek
