Alliances and Power Politics in the Trump Era
This volume examines the evolution of US foreign policy since Donald Trump’s accession to the presidency and the strategic challenges confronting the United States in a changing geopolitical environment. Trump has delivered on his promises to break with past policies and this has, for the most part, revealed a policy of retrenchment that has jeopardized US alliances. The book focuses on the current state and future of transatlantic relations, on Washington’s policy in the Middle East and Africa, on the administration’s use of the economic weapon in international relations, but also on the American response to the return of great power competition in the face of an assertive China and resurgent Russia. The contributions gather the inputs of a transatlantic community of scholars combining academics, think-tank fellows, former policy-makers and administration officials from both sides of the Atlantic.
Contemporary Cases in U.S. Foreign Policy
This engaging case study approach brings together a diverse set of contributors to help students question motives, consider alternatives, and analyze outcomes in many of the most controversial foreign policy issues now confronting the United States. Many actors―from the president and members of Congress to interest groups, NGOs, and the media―compete to shape U.S. foreign policy. While previous editions of this popular text focused more on national security issues in the wake of 9/11 and the War on Terror, the 13 case studies in this edition deal with a wide range of policy areas: national security, homeland security, diplomacy, trade, immigration, epidemics, climate change, and Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Many reflect how the demarcation between foreign and domestic policy has become even more blurred and polarization has come to plays a significantly increased role in American foreign policy.

The Italian State and International Terrorism, 1969–1986
This book sheds light on the so-called ‘Moro Doctrine’, an Italian state security policy which has been portrayed in literature as an under-the-counter agreement made between Italy and Palestinian movement during the Cold War. The Moro Doctrine, or ‘Lodo Moro’ as it is known in Italy, aimed to protect the peninsula from Palestinian attacks by allowing terrorists to use Italian territory as a base for weapons and guerrilla fighters. Responsibility for the ‘Lodo’ was instrumentally placed on Aldo Moro, the five- time Prime Minister of Italy, after his death, and since then his name has become indelibly linked with the shame of having negotiated with Palestinian terrorists.

Neoconservative Images of Europe
While in the last twenty years perceptions of Europe have been subjected to detailed historical scrutiny, American images of the Old World have been almost wantonly neglected. As a response to this scholarly desideratum, this pioneering study analyzes neoconservative images of Europe since the 1970s on the basis of an extensive collection of sources. With fresh insight into the evolution of American images of Europe as well as into the history of U.S. neoconservatism, the book appeals to readers familiar and new to the subject matters alike. The study explores how, beginning in the early 1970s, ideas of the United States as an anti-Europe have permeated neoconservative writing and shaped their self-images and political agitation. The choice of periodization and investigated personnel enables the author to refute popular claims that widespread Euro-critical sentiment in the United Studies during the early 21st century – considerably ignited by neoconservatives – was a distinct post-Cold War phenomenon. Instead, the analysis reveals that the fiery rhetoric in the context of the Iraq War debates was merely the climax of a decade-old development.
Italy in the International System from Détente to the End of the Cold War
This edited collection offers a new approach to the study of Italy’s foreign policy from the 1960s to the end of the Cold War, highlighting its complex and sometimes ambiguous goals, due to the intricacies of its internal system and delicate position in the fault line of the East-West and North-South divides. According to received opinion, during the Cold War era Italy was more an object rather than a factor in active foreign policy, limiting itself to paying lip service to the Western alliance and the European integration process, without any pretension to exerting a substantial international influence. Eleven contributions by leading Italian historians reappraise Italy’s international role, addressing three complex and intertwined issues, namely, the country’s political-diplomatic dimension; the economic factors affecting Rome’s international stance; and Italy’s role in new approaches to the international system and the influence of political parties’ cultures in the nation’s foreign policy.
Foreign Perceptions of the United States under Donald Trump
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...
The Routledge Handbook of the Global Sixties
‘This extraordinary collection is a game-changer. Featuring the cutting-edge work of over forty scholars from across the globe, The Routledge Handbook of the Global Sixties is breathtaking in its range, incisive in analyses, and revolutionary in method and evidence. Here, fifty years after that iconic "1968," Western Europe and North America are finally de-centered, if not provincialized, and we have the basis for a complete remapping, a thorough reinterpretation of the "Sixties."’ —Jean Allman, J.H. Hexter Professor in the Humanities; Director, Center for the Humanities, Washington University in St. Louis ‘This is a landmark achievement. It represents the most comprehensive effort t...
Die Rote Gefahr
Mitte der 1970er-Jahre avancierte der italienische Eurokommunismus zu einer massiven sicherheitspolitischen Herausforderung, weil er sich der klassischen Ost-West-Logik entzog. Eine im Nachkriegsitalien noch stark an der Sowjetunion orientierte kommunistische Massenpartei wollte sich in einem geostrategisch zentralen Mitgliedsstaat der NATO von Moskau lösen und infolge demokratischer Wahlen die Regierung übernehmen. Wie reagierte der Westen darauf? Sollte man den Kommunisten Glauben schenken und am Ende möglicherweise einem Trojanischen Pferd Moskaus Einlass in die Machtzirkel des Westens gestatten? Am Beispiel der außen- und sicherheitspolitischen Strategien der USA und Westdeutschlands analysiert Nikolas Dörr die Ängste und Hoffnungen, die mit der eurokommunistischen Herausforderung in Italien verbunden waren und zeigt auf, welche Bedrohungen die westlichen Staaten befürchteten und welche Spannung sich daraus ergaben.
Précis de géopolitique et de relations internationales
« Il arrive un moment, peut-être toutes les six ou huit générations, où le monde change en très peu de temps » déclarait en octobre 2023 le président américain Joe Biden à son homologue chilien Gabriel Boric. Un tel moment semble arrivé : des steppes houillières du Donbass aux déserts du Sahel, de la bande de Gaza aux théâtres de la guerre économique, les crises se multiplient et la théorie de la géopolitique et des relations internationales doit rassembler ses armes pour y répondre. Rédigé par des universitaires et des cadres du secteur public, cet ouvrage explicite tant les grands enjeux de la géopolitique du monde contemporain, l’histoire des relations internation...
