Gapminder: Unveiling the beauty of statistics for a fact based world view. Is Trump a Normal Foreign-Policy President? For scholars studying the effects of presidential leadership on U.S. foreign policy, Donald Trump’s surprise victory in 2016 has offered quite the test.

Is Trump a Normal Foreign-Policy President?

What does it mean for the United States to elect a leader with no experience in government, little knowledge of foreign policy, and an explicit disdain for expertise? After a year in office, Trump has confirmed a lot of what we knew about how leaders matter: he has held firm to the few beliefs he brought with him to office, demonstrated the importance of substantive knowledge (or lack thereof) for decision-making, and shown why advisers cannot substitute for experienced leadership.

Emergence of the concept. Darfur Visible. United Nations Photo. “Men With No Mercy” Since 2003 an armed conflict between the government of Sudan and rebel groups has ravaged Sudan’s western region of Darfur.

“Men With No Mercy”

Darfur’s civilian population has suffered enormously throughout the conflict. The United Nations (UN) estimates that over 300,000 people have been killed by violence or conflict-induced disease, starvation, or dehydration. Thousands of villages and countless livelihoods have been destroyed. Sexual violence against women and girls has been widespread. According to UN estimates, 4.4 million people in Darfur are in need of humanitarian assistance. The UN and the African Union (AU) have responded to the conflict with various interventions designed to resolve the conflict or to diminish the suffering experienced by the civilian population. In March 2005, the UN Security Council referred the situation in Darfur to the International Criminal Court (ICC), and three months later the ICC began its investigations.

Globalization. Debate abounds over whether globalization is good or bad for the individual, the family, the nation, and the world.

Globalization

Exchanges and interconnections are as old as human history itself, as people moved around the globe in search of opportunity and spreading new ideas. Pessimists view increased interdependence as a terribly destructive trend for communities and culture, while optimists envision a diverse and better life for all. The word “globalization” itself describes an endless range of interactions, both deliberate and accidental. Unforeseen consequences can emerge sometimes decades later.
