The U.S.-China Trade War and Policy Resilience
One can attribute the Trump administration’s pursuit of a trade war against the People’s Republic of China ( prc ) to a range of variables, including its re-election hopes, commitment to protectionism as an economic weapon, fears about Beijing’s pursuit of artificial intelligence, and broader strategic concerns about the global balance of power. This article argues that another explanation for President Donald J. Trump’s ability to change trade p…
The Trump administration and China
The long-run consequences of the Trump presidency on US foreign policy have been a subject of debate. Policy towards China is one arena in which observers have argued that Trump's impact has been significant and is likely to outlast him. Indeed, it might be considered transformational. Many of the commentaries have, however, been largely anecdotal. So as to provide a more rigorous analysis of policy transformation we employ a previously developed…
The Trump administration
In examining the Trump administration’s foreign policy practice and strategy, it is all too easy to fixate on the constant flow of outrageous comments made by Trump and treat this as the best route
The Trump presidency
All presidents promise change. Few presidents, however, promised change as radical as Donald Trump has. In the course of the 2016 election campaign Trump declared that NATO, was ‘obsolete’, that Am
The Trump foreign policy record and the concept of transformational change
While there has been debate about the extent to which US foreign policy has been transformed since President Trump first took office in 2017, the concept of transformational policy change has not been defined with any degree of precision. The purpose of this article is, primarily, to establish such a definition. It does this by drawing upon a number of the literatures that address domestic policy processes, in particular the work of Karl Polanyi,…
The United States and the Iranian Nuclear Programme
A critical overview of American efforts to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons, from the 1950s to the present The first full historical overview of US efforts to prevent Iran acquiring nuclear weapons Covers the US–Iranian nuclear relationship from 1957 to the present Analyses the escalation of the crisis in the 21st century, placing that development in proper historical context Critiques US policy, explaining why it failed to achieve its …
Partisan polarization and US foreign policy
Scholars generally agree that most congressional decision-making behaviour has become characterized by partisan polarization. One area to which this consensus does not extend, however, is decision-making on foreign and national security issues. While a majority of scholars believe congressional foreign policy voting is now polarized, others insist that bipartisanship remains the norm. Examining roll-call votes in the House of Representatives from…
The Iranian Nuclear Negotiations as a Two-Level Game
In July 2015, after more than a decade of negotiations, the international community and Iran finally reached agreement over Iran’s nuclear programme. All of the work that produced the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] was nearly undone, however, by the United States Congress, which came close to killing the agreement. This episode emphasises the fact that international negotiations are “two-level games” in which policy-makers must take i…

The Rhetorical Strategy of George H. W. Bush during the Persian Gulf Crisis 1990–91
Public perceptions of the relative failure of the first Bush administration's policy in the Persian Gulf crisis of 1990–91 can be attributed in large part to its failure both to remove Saddam Hussein from office and to eliminate Iraq's nuclear weapons programme. Those objectives were not, in fact, among those that the administration initially set out to achieve. Midway through the crisis, however, it altered its rhetorical strategy in a fashion t…
His Finest Hour?' George Bush and the Diplomacy of German Unification
This article examines the diplomatic record of the Bush administration with particular reference to its role in German unification. Based upon memoir material and new sources made available since 1989, it argues that the administration in general - and George Bush in particular - played an indispensable role during these critical years. First, Bush's unequivocal support for unification drove the process forward and reinforced Germany's commitment…
Regionalism or Globalism? The Carter Administration and Vietnam
In January 1977 normalization of relations with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) was a significant element in the Carter administration's effort to reorient American foreign policy away from its previous preoccupation with containment. For Jimmy Carter, normalization was a symbolic means of ending a disastrous and debilitating episode in American foreign policy. For other policy-makers in the administration it was also the basis upon which…
