Idiosyncrasies in Trump’s Foreign Policy Decision Making

Abstract: The world order, as we all know, could come now to an end. The role of leaders and leadership will continue to be important, but in conditions in which, at global level, it will exert a competition without reporting to rules, norms, institutions.. The present article investigates the behaviour and the type of messages regarding foreign policy transmitted by the American President during his campaign and in his first month at the White House, aiming to identify his idiosyncrasies, and in this way, foreseeing the type of behaviour that US will have on this new International System.
