Abstract
We are proud to present the tenth annual issue of The Journal of International Relations, Peace Studies, and Development, produced in collaboration with the AGS International Graduate Student Conference 2025, “Trump 2.0: Reshuffling the International Deck.”
The reelection of Donald Trump has sent seismic shifts through the international order, challenging long-standing alliances, diplomatic norms, and the very architecture of global governance. This issue offers an urgent and critical examination of how a reinforced “America First” doctrine may redefine international relations, trade, security, and multilateral cooperation.
Set against a backdrop of escalating global crises—from climate change and armed conflict to systemic inequality—the articles collected here provide rigorous analysis of our most pressing challenges. Moving beyond diagnosis, the contributors propose actionable pathways for meaningful policy engagement, bridging the critical gap between academic research and real-world application.
Beyond the central focus on this new political era, the issue is rounded out by innovative research in key areas of research and a pertinent book review, collectively enriching the discourse on peace, justice, and global equity.
We invite scholars, policymakers, and engaged readers to explore these timely insights into the evolving dynamics of a world in flux.
