Abstract

The book’s concluding chapter reviews the book’s main argument about the relationship between the emotional frustration of US presidents and their turn to regime. Probing the central argument of the book through a brief application of it to the presidency of Donald Trump, it then shows how the absence of US perceptions of hatred and negative affect foreclosed forcible US regime change in Venezuela and Iran. The chapter subsequently details the theoretical implications of the book’s findings for the International Relations (IR) literature on emotions. The chapter finally turns to the book’s broader implications for IR debates. It details the book’s contributions to our understanding of the relationship between foreign policy rhetoric and actual state practices, US grand strategy, and the effectiveness of regime change.
