초록

This study examines the Jacksonian tendencies of Donald Trump’s foreign policy, and suggests the need for a modification of Walter Russell Mead’s typology of US foreign policy traditions (Wilsonian, Hamiltonian, Jeffersonian, and Jacksonian). This change will enhance its logical coherence and secure its efficiency as an academic tool. The amended version utilizes two factors to define foreign policy traditions: its situation in international politics and arena (hegemony-nation centric) and the relation of other countries to the national interest (realistic-idealistic view). These changes turn a largely historical discourse and colorful description of US foreign policy outlooks into a method to analyze not just recent US administrations’ foreign policy agendas, but the nature of the foreign policy tradition itself. According to this approach and the resulting analysis, Trump represents the distillation of the nation-centric, realist, Jacksonian tradition, and it rose to power in revolt against the decades-long dominance of the hegemony-centric, idealist, Wilsonian tradition. This shift will not end even if Trump loses the presidency.

Abstract

This study examines the Jacksonian tendencies of Donald Trump’s foreign policy, and suggests the need for a modification of Walter Russell Mead’s typology of US foreign policy traditions (Wilsonian, Hamiltonian, Jeffersonian, and Jacksonian). This change will enhance its logical coherence and secure its efficiency as an academic tool. The amended version utilizes two factors to define foreign policy traditions: its situation in international politics and arena (hegemony-nation centric) and the relation of other countries to the national interest (realistic-idealistic view). These changes turn a largely historical discourse and colorful description of US foreign policy outlooks into a method to analyze not just recent US administrations’ foreign policy agendas, but the nature of the foreign policy tradition itself. According to this approach and the resulting analysis, Trump represents the distillation of the nation-centric, realist, Jacksonian tradition, and it rose to power in revolt against the decades-long dominance of the hegemony-centric, idealist, Wilsonian tradition. This shift will not end even if Trump loses the presidency.
