How Trumpism is changing the world

 The post-World War II era was dominated by idealism that gave birth to a dense architecture of multilateral institutions and Western-led governance frameworks.

That order has now reached a decisive historical inflection point. The foreign policy paradigm forged during the two administrations of United States President Donald Trump — marked by unilateralism, transactional nationalism, and a recalibration of historic alliances — represents a sharp break from prior international norms. Combining coercive leverage with strategic media manipulation, this shift has heralded a new foreign policy phenomenon: Trumpism.

By combining assertions of national sovereignty with an anti-establishment tone, Trumpism systematically challenges the core assumptions that had underpinned global governance for generations.

At its core, it represents a deliberate move away from grand, Western-dominated global leadership towards a decentralised, issue-specific, and deeply transactional international order.
