This volume examines the US foreign policy under Trump 2.0. and implications for world order, disorder, and reorder. The book is designed to inspire critical African reflections on recent changes in different aspects of international relations from economics, politics, technology, administration, and culture to the environment as it concerns the continent, other regions of the world, and the global community, and the centrality of Trump’s second coming in this context.

On these bases, this book is interested in how African scholars view and perceive (1) Trump’s 2.0. US foreign policy dispositions, actions, and engagements, (2) how they are (re)shaping and impacting various subjects of interest in international relations, (3) their implications for different countries and regions of the world, as well as (4) the attention and reactions that they have generated from across the world.
