US Foreign Policy between Tradition and Neo-Royalism

Description

The lecture arranges the major traditional lines of US foreign policy from Jefferson's restraint to Jackson's populism and shows how Donald Trump breaks with these. The focus is on the approach of "Neo-Royalism": Instead of sovereign states, small, elitist "cliques" around an absolute sovereign shape the world order – tribute instead of rules, exceptionalism instead of law. What does this mean for international relations?
