One Year Trump: GIES Launches its Annual Occasional Paper Series
(19-01-2026) In the 2025 edition, GIES takes stock of Europe, the United States, and the world after the first year of Donald Trump's second term as US president.
Each year, the Ghent Institute for International and European Politics (GIES) breaks down a major event in international and European Politics in a GIES Occasional Paper series. It brings together the expertise of GIES academics by analysing current affairs through a variety of different angles.
In the 2025 edition, GIES takes stock of Europe, the United States, and the world after the first year of Donald Trump's second term as US president. Each weekday until February 5, a GIES researcher sheds light on a policy of the second Trump administration. On offer: enlightening contributions on how president Donald Trump's return to the White House have affected European security and NATO, conflicts—and peace(?)—across the globe, and global (economic) governance.
