Trumped: Emerging Powers in a Post-American World: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Trumped: Emerging Powers in a Post-American World" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Why is US President Donald Trump so shockingly unorthodox in his foreign policy?
How are prominent developing countries adjusting to Trumps America First approach?
Is Trump unintentionally a blessing in disguise for rising powers?
Will the Trump effect of withdrawing America from global governance continue after him?
What drives populism in the US and how is it accelerating the evolution of a post-American world?
What kind of arrangement is replacing the Western-led liberal international order?
Trumped: Emerging Powers in a Post-American World challenges Western liberal presumptions that without America as the global policeman and financier, there would be chaos and collapse in the world or a takeover by totalitarian China. It argues that there is no need to despair about Trumps self-goal of undermining American leadership around the world because capable rising powers in different regions can fill the vacuum left by Trumps abandonment and provide order, peace, security and prosperity in their respective areas.
Readers get insights into the domestic structural pressures motivating Trumps trademark foreign policy insurgency and the divisions within his two-track presidency between nationalists and globalists which are profoundly impacting on Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. The author provides an alternative vision from the lens of powerful developing countries by arguing that the solution to a withdrawing and isolationist US is not a return to US interventionism or a China-dominated new global order but multiple post-American regionally based orders.

There is no shortage of Western-centric critiques of Donald Trump from the - photo 1

There is no shortage of Western-centric critiques of Donald Trump from the vantage points of New York, Washington, London, Brussels and Paris. Nor is there any lack of Chinese analyses of what the great disruptor means for them. Leading Indian scholar and pundit of international affairs Sreeram Chaulia takes a different approach. His barnstorming book looks at Trump from the perspective of Ankara, New Delhi, Brasilia and Abuja. The results will surprise you.

Brendan Simms, Professor in the History of International Relations, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, and co-author of Donald Trump: The Making of a World View

The rise of Donald Trump and the return of emerging powers to the forefront of world politics are markers of our time. Until now, they have been treated separately. In this pioneering work, Sreeram Chaulia brings them together into a seamless whole, highlighting the many ways in which Trumps foreign policy opens new vistas for rising powers. Richly documented and brilliantly written, Trumped is a must-read for all those keen to understand the changing dynamics of todays world.

Jorge Heine, Wilson Center Global Fellow and former Ambassador of Chile to India, China and South Africa

This compelling book convincingly argues that, in our surreal Trumpian world, the US-led liberal international order is at a revolutionary inflection point. Skilfully moving beyond standard Eurocentric scholarly and policy debates, Sreeram Chaulia brilliantly weaves together views from key emerging powers of the Global South to see how they understand, and, in time, with correct political choices may seize the opportunity to construct an alternative world order built on endogenous structures and collective action.

Karim Makdisi, Associate Professor of International Politics, The American University of Beirut, Lebanon

There is much scholarship in the West about the demise of the liberal international order, and many mourn its end. Indeed, there is still much in that order that should be preserved, but there is also much that needs to (and will) change. The rest of the world is rising, assuming responsibilities and displaying leadership. The analysis and the vision of this changing world needs to be told by scholars from those regions. Sreeram Chaulias work on the rise of powers outside the conventional USChina duet does just that, providing much-needed nuance and illustrating that the crafting of a new global order is not the domain of the most powerful states alone.

Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, Chief Executive, South African Institute of International Affairs, Johannesburg

Can the emerging powers step up their act in maintaining global stability and filling the void in global leadership as the US-led liberal international order crumbles? This book offers a timely corrective to the usual Western and China-centric perspectives on this question, and should be invaluable to academics, policymakers and the media.

Amitav Acharya, Professor of International Relations, American University, Washington DC, and author of The End of American World Order

Contents

As Sreeram Chaulia highlights in his exhilarating book, US President Donald Trump deals with the world in a disruptive and unpredictable manner. But his casting of villains is clear. Through his prism, a soft and weak European Union is stigmatised as being over-regulated. And an assertive China is accused of being hyper-competitive.

But the main villain for Trump remains the liberal international order built up by an older US elite, along with the institutional architecture at its core: the United Nations, the International Financial Institutions and the World Trade Organization.

Some of this critique is based on a transactional view of the world. The US is being taken for a ride by allies and countries in which it has shared interdependence. Old arrangements, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, fall into this category, as do newer potential regional deals, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

In this sense, at least, Trumps emotions are no differentexcept in scale and intensitythan some earlier signs of pushback. What is different is the context of Trump as pivotal to a new era of populism. As Sreeram Chaulia carefully denotes, this shifts the challenge from an exclusively external locus to one that has an important internal dimension. For Trump, formal institutions, interpreted as a constraining force, are part of an entrenched repertoire of a self-serving and controlling establishment.

On top of all this, of course, is the serious threat to a contemporary diplomatic culture that Trump presents. In contradistinction to the twenty-first-century diplomatic culture symbolised by the Barack Obama administration, the Trump operational style is focused on personalism, the use of bilateral one-on-ones, constant surprises, and direct and highly targeted communication with his domestic supporters. At its core is a winner-take-all approach to any external engagement, in which asymmetrical structural advantages are translated into leverage. The goal is not to stabilise institutions or to enhance followership or goodwill among strategic allies or commercial partners but to extract material advantages on a self-help basis. The audience is exclusively domestic communities, with a great onus on publicising successful outcomes (or wins) with their interests in mind.

Sreeram Chaulia is well versed in the debates in the US and Europe about the implications of this challenge. However, this rich book is not preoccupied with going over these Western-centred critiques or, for that matter, what the Chinese state and academic commentators have to say about Trump as the great disruptor.
