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?
