D. Biden's foreign policy doctrine and its implementation

Abstract

The US change in the White House in 2021 has led to a new foreign policy doctrine, which significantly influenced trends in international relations. The Biden administration's stated struggle between democracy and autocracy characterized the West's geopolitical rivalry with Russia and China, which has taken the form of a developing confrontation around the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. In practice, the United States is now unable to defeat its opponents, the sanctions imposed by them and their allies do not allow them to fulfill the task of embodying a democratic world order. Due to the interconnectedness of economics in the era of globalization, the main European partners of the United States are struggling with the energy crisis, which makes it impossible to concentrate on solving transnational problems, also stated in the doctrine. At this stage, the United States is not able to translate its rhetoric into real political decisions and achieve its goals.
