Donald Trump Has Remade US Politics Despite
(Not Because of) his Policies
Hussein Ibish 14 November 2024

When Donald Trump began his first term as US president, back in February 2017, I speculated that we might be witnessing the beginning of a grand realignment in American politics. The recent election shows that this realignment has happened, but largely despite, rather than because of, Mr Trump’s policies.

Jeffry Frieden: Once Again, it’s the Economy, Stupid
Sofia de Benedictis 13 November 2024

One week ago, Donald Trump secured a resounding victory over opponent Kamala Harris in the 2024 US elections, primarily due to a country-wide shift to the right. Swing states like Georgia and Michigan that were previously blue, are now red, and urban areas – historically Democratic bastions – have shifted their favor considerably towards the Republican party. We asked Jeffry Frieden, Professor of International and Public Affairs and Political Science at Columbia University what was motivating voters and whether this rightward shift will mean for democratic values and whether Trump will be able to live up to his lofty election promises.

The Triumph of Trump and Netanyahu: The End of the Two-State Solution?
Claudia De Martino 8 November 2024

Donald Trump’s clear-cut victory in the US presidential election has shaken the entire world, and has been greeted with sharply contrasting reactions, especially in Middle East. For Palestinians, it felt like the final nail in the coffin. Hopes for American mediation toward a fair resolution of the conflict are virtually non-existent, and Palestinians view the next four years through a lens of mere survival, trying to withstand the blows from Israel’s most right-wing government in history, which will now feel even freer from burdensome external constraints, such as the call to respect international law.

Seth Moskowitz 4 January 2022
