@foreignaffairsAbout
Since its founding in 1922, Foreign Affairs has been the leading forum for serious discussion of America's role in the world. The magazine covers a broad range of topics related to U.S. foreign policy and international relations with a mix of non-partisan analysis, reportage, and reviews and criticism.
Video Description
When Donald Trump praises foreign dictators—from Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un to Viktor Orban and Vladimir Putin—the typical reaction is shock and dismay. But in fact, Beverly Gage points out in a recent essay (https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/autocratic-allure-beverly-gage) in Foreign Affairs, such admiration is not uncommon in American politics. And Trump’s embrace of overseas autocrats is just one of the unsettling features of American civic life today that has a more prominent place in U.S. history than most observers would like to think. Gage, a historian at Yale, has written extensively about contemporary U.S. politics, ideology, and social movements, and is the author of G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century. She spoke with Foreign Affairs senior editor Kanishk Tharoor on October 17 about the historical parallels that help us understand today’s fraught politics—as well as what set this moment apart.
