Uncontrollable?

Trump and the Rationality of Disorder

Is Donald Trump truly uncontrollable, or does he reveal a political logic that our usual frameworks struggle to grasp?

This essay reads Trump as an object of analysis in international relations. Assumed power politics, permanent negotiation, transgression of established rules: it examines the logics at work behind his decisions.

The curious reader will find useful reference points for questioning the coherence of his policy and understanding what it tells us about the world we are entering.
