Old institutions like NATO, the U.N. and W.T.O. are diminished, even in doubt, and the old trade regime and assumptions about alliances are gone. Relationships are transactional, and soft power is scoffed at. Traditional adversaries like Russia win praise, while there is talk about taking over Canada and Greenland. This is driven not just from the top, but also by deep shifts in the electorates across the West, including gains by nationalists in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and elsewhere. Liberals and liberal values alike seem to be in retreat. Uncertainties dominate: How will China, North Korea and other nations respond to this new world order, and will they see it as an opportunity for adventurism? Will traditional alliances, whether in Europe or Asia, be able to maintain deterrence? As the Israel/Palestinian conflict drags on, is an opportunity emerging for a settlement — or will we face perpetual turbulence and conflict? Is Iran retreating from its nuclear aspirations, or recommitting to them, and how will the world respond? With foreign aid collapsing, is it inevitable that millions will die and that waves of refugees will flee conflict and climate? We will ask, where are we now? And what are the real-world ramifications of these policies, and are they lasting? What is hyperbole, and what are going to be the real effects? How is the western world adapting and changing in the face of the United States’ shifting foreign policies — and how are these forces changing America as well?
