The report assesses the presidency of Barack Obama, with a focus on transatlantic security relations. Other foreign and security policy issues are also examined. In addition, four crucial domestic policy that helped define the administration are reviewed in depth, in order to arrive at an overall assessment of Barack Obama as president. The second part of the report examines what we may expect from Donald Trump as president, again with a focus on transatlantic security relations and again with an analysis of fundamental domestic issues.
This book focuses on problems of, and prospects for, strengthening the global system of security governance in a manner consistent with the aspirations and practices of the EU. The Eu approach to security governance has been successful in its immediate neighbourhood: it has successfully exported its preferred norms and principles to applicant countries, thereby 'pacifying' its immediate neighbourhood and making all of Europe more secure. This edited volume addresses both the practical and political aspects of security governance and the barriers to the globalization of the EU system of security governance, particularly in teh multipolar post-Cold War era. This book will be of great interest to students of security governance, EU politics, European Security and IR in general.
