On Trump & radical right ideology.
Jean-François Drolet, a leading researcher into the 'World of the Right', talks to Alex and Lee about Donald Trump's coveting of Greenland, and puts the move into its ideological context.
What is the paleoconservative worldview, how is it different from the neoconservative one, and which is more influential in the Trump regime?
How does paleoconservatism translate into actual foreign policy? What's in Trump's new National Security Strategy?
Are we back to a 19th century-style 'spheres of influence' arrangement?
Does the radical right's foreign policy lead back to a populist kind of isolationism – or to a 'civilisational nationalism'?
Will Trump solidify the transatlantic alliance, or generate a rift?
