Reviews

Deborah Welch Larson, University of California, Los Angeles:
The contribution of this book lies in its timeliness, creativity, and boldness in addressing a still evolving and changing Trump foreign policy. The essays address such important concerns as the future of liberal hegemony, domestic public opinion, and the impact of leaks and fake news on trust in the media. The authors provide a depth of analysis and historical perspective that ensures this book will provide insights into the forces underlying the Trump phenomenon for some time to come.

O. A. Westad, Harvard Kennedy School:
A much-needed book that puts the Trump Administration into a proper international and historical perspective. It not only enlightens the reader about current affairs, but also helps us better understand some of the deeper causes for the crisis of liberal democracy.

Elizabeth N. Saunders, George Washington University:
Chaos in the Liberal Order is a sober guide for turbulent times. It covers an impressive range of issues and perspectives, giving insight into what’s new—and what’s not—in the Trump era. A must-read for anyone looking for context on the direction of American foreign policy in the Trump administration, and beyond.
