"US president Donald Trump’s recent actions seem designed to reassert American
power and demonstrate that it is still the dominant global power and is capable
of bullying weaker nations into following America’s lead.
He has shown contempt for international collaboration by withdrawing from the
UN climate negotiations and the World Health Organization. His officials have
also indicated that they will not participate in upcoming G20 meetings because
he does not like the policies of South Africa, the G20 president for 2025.
In addition, he’s shown a lack of concern for international solidarity by
halting US aid programmes and by undermining efforts to keep businesses honest.
He has demonstrated his contempt for allies by imposing tariffs on their
exports.
These actions demand a response from the rest of the international community
that mitigates the risk to the well-being of people and planet and the
effective management of global affairs.
My research on global economic governance suggests that history can offer some
guidance on how to shape an effective response.
Such a response should be based on a realistic assessment of the configuration
of global forces. It should seek to build tactical coalitions between state and
non-state actors in both the global south and the global north who can agree on
clear and limited objectives."
