Beskrivning
Examines how Trump's election as President signals a rollback of the Obama yearsIn 2008, in what seemed a seminal moment for the country's politics, the United States elected an African American as President. Yet, eight years later, in the form of Donald Trump, the nation put in office a man who was the very antithesis of his predecessor. This book determines what can legitimately be regarded as the legacy of the Obama presidency and investigates how far the Trump administration has reversed it. The analysis is embedded in a historical context, based on examination and scrutiny of how, and how successfully, presidents in the modern era have overturned the work of their predecessor when they have attempted to do so. The authors focus on meaningful priority shifts, policy changes and the imprint of presidential leadership, providing a framework for assessing Obama's legacy, which in turn affords context to a discussion of the Trump administration's capacity to fulfil its promise to reverse the direction taken by the Obama White House. Looking beyond the noise and hyperbole, the book examines how robust the Obama legacy has proved to be in the face of Trump's challenge.

Recensioner i media

In this engaging and important volume, political scientists Clodagh Harrington and Alex Waddan offer a thoroughly researched, clearly written and cogent evaluation of Barack Obama's legacy and Donald Trump's efforts to roll it back while shrewdly assessing the similar ways in which they each used presidential power to achieve dissimilar ends.
