Abstract
US Empire in the Age of Trump
Highlights
The 2016 American presidential election has fueled ongoing speculation about the viability of liberal democracy and the post-World War II global order
To reflect on the decline of American influence in the geopolitical sphere, its internal fracturing and polarization, atrophying commitment to liberal democratic values and persistent tendency to confront global conflicts with military solutions raises crucial questions about whether American empire is sustainable, and whether it is worth sustaining
Is not so much the betrayal of liberal norms, but rather the degree to which liberal discourse has yielded to tacit and explicit support for authoritarian tactics and the extent to which liberal democratic principles, institutions and values are simultaneously being abandoned by large parts of the American population.[4]
