The trumpism in IR is reorganisation of Western hegemony
The trumpism in IR is reorganisation of Western hegemony on the basis of right liberalism and Western identity.
The politics of MAGA in the international realm as it is taking shape right now with Elon Musk’s campaign against globalist rulers in EU is objectively corroborates to creation of multipolar world order. Sure the idea is to reorganise the Western hegemony on different base.
But this time the base is Western identity - with the US in centre and Europe and Australia as satellites. White modern mostly Christian technically developed core of civilisation. All the rest is Periphery of less importance. Russia is forgotten (no more foe number one).
India replaces China. China, Islamic world, Africa and Latin America are headache. They should be somehow neutralised, reduced to their natural historic realms. Immigration in the West should be legal and controlled with assimilation and integration by acceptance Western identity.
The West to the Westerners and those who sincerely share its values. This strategy is opposed to globalists and liberals almost in all. It leads, maybe in spite of its architects and builders, to multipolarity - non-Westerners start to reorganise their own civilisations.
The trumpism in IR is reorganisation of Western hegemony on the basis of right liberalism and Western identity. But the main concern now is America, Monroe doctrine, meridian expansion and consolidation of Europe inscribed in the American closest zone of influence.
It is new version of offensive realism, a sort of American imperialism.
Objectively it facilitates formation of other civilisational poles that are not included in the Western core. Something like that suggested Huntington.
Catholics settled in the Southwestern US with feudalist governing and the Protestants arrived in Plymouth with a socialist philosophy.
Pax Americana begins.
"Western identity" is an umbrella term. Inside the West there are many identities. They will compete. The powerful will be afraid to loose their riches. Fear is a powerful motivator.
A lot more instability needs to happen before meaningful changes can take place in the West. It is unfortunate.
Also, it was easier, globally, to criticize US hegemony in a unipolar world. In a multipolar world, authoritarian leaders will feel emboldened to emerge and seize power in the periphery (Africa is a good example). Populations and ordinary people will suffer. Big powers will be invited, alliances created, proxy wars will become normalized.
It will be a tragedy. In the end a case of buyers remorse? Everyone assumes that the day after will be like the day before, but if the locus of power has shifted, violence will become a viable strategy. The United Nations will become useless.
