USA’s TRUMP PRESIDENCY:
Ex Ante Foreign Policy Analysis of Implications for the Western Balkans
Prof. Ana Bojinović Fenko
The discussion paper examines how Donald Trump’s second presidency could shape US foreign policy and its impact on the Western Balkans. Through the lens of foreign policy analysis, we explore the interplay between Trump’s leadership style, domestic politics, and global power dynamics. The paper delves into the potential consequences for the region’s political stability, and EU integration prospects, while questioning whether Western Balkan countries will embrace nationalism or pursue pluralism under mounting international pressure.
