Trump's Presidency and America's Reputation : Global Perspectives

Omtale

Trump’s Presidency and America’s Reputation explores the global perception of the United States during Donald Trump’s second presidency. A diverse team of authors examines how countries around the world view American leadership, policies, and international relations under President Trump, and how international media coverage has affected these perceptions. The book is structured into three key sections: Projected Rhetoric and Symbolic Statecraft examines how the United States actively projects its image, The Spectacle of Personalization focuses on the hyper-personalization of politics that often overrides a country’s institutional reputation, and Local Receptions and Strategic Adaptations focuses on how local cultures, political elites, and everyday publics filter US signals through their own cultural schemas, historical memories, and strategic survival instincts. The chapters investigate the shifts in US diplomacy, public diplomacy and foreign policy, how these changes influence global perceptions and diplomatic relations, and their impact on alliances and international cooperation. Drawing on expertise in political communication, public relations, public diplomacy, and media studies, this book will interest researchers and upper-level students working across these interdisciplinary areas.
