Lecture: "Trump's America in the World"

Last year's U.S. presidential election delivered the most radical shock to the international order of any event since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The rise of Donald Trump marks the end of a post-Cold-war balance of power and ideology.

The shift is not merely rhetorical.
