Resumo: | Many analyses point to Trump’s behavior on the world stage – bullying and racketeering more reminiscent of a mobster than a statesman – as a personal character flaw. But while this behavior was shocking in its crudeness, Trump marks the culmination of a decades-long trend that shifted US foreign policy from a regime of “legitimate protection” in the mid-20th century to a “protection racket” by the turn of the 21st century. Although the temperaments of successive presidents have mattered, the problems faced by the US and its international role are not attributable to personalities, but are rather fundamentally structural, in large part stemming from the contradictions of the country’s attempts to cling to preeminence before a changing global power distribution. The inability of successive US administrations – Trump and Biden included – to break with the mindset of US primacy has resulted in a “domination without hegemony,” in which the United States plays an increasingly dysfunctional role. This dynamic has plunged the world into a period of systemic chaos analogous to the first half of the 20th century. |

Si ce comportement était choquant par son manque de politesse, Trump marque l’aboutissement d’une tendance de plusieurs décennies qui a transformé la politique étrangère américaine, passant d’un régime de “protection légitime” au milieu du XXe siècle à un “racket de protection extorqué” au début du XXIe siècle. Si les tempéraments des présidents successifs ont été important, les problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les États-Unis et leur rôle international ne sont pas imputables à des personnalités, mais sont fondamentalement structurels, découlant pour la plupart des contradictions de leurs tentatives de s’accrocher à leur prééminence face aux transformations de la répartition mondiale du pouvoir. L’incapacité des gouvernements nord-américains successifs – y compris Trump et Biden – à rompre avec la mentalité de primauté des États-Unis a abouti à une situation de “domination sans hégémonie” dans laquelle ils jouent un rôle de plus en plus dysfonctionnel. Cette dynamique a plongé le monde dans une période de chaos systémique analogue à celle de la première moitié du XXe siècle.Muitas análises apontam para o comportamento de Trump no cenário mundial – intimidação e extorsão que mais lembram a um mafioso que a um estadista – como falha de caráter pessoal. Embora esse comportamento tenha sido chocante na sua falta de polidez, Trump marca o culminar de uma tendência de décadas que transformou a política externa dos EUA de um regime de “proteção legítima” em meados do século XX num “esquema extorsivo de proteção” na virada do século XXI. Embora os temperamentos de sucessivos presidentes tenham sido importantes, os problemas enfrentados pelos EUA e seu papel no mundo não são atribuíveis a personalidades, mas são fundamentalmente estruturais, majoritariamente decorrentes das contradições de suas tentativas de se agarrar à sua preeminência diante das transformações na distribuição global de poder. A incapacidade de seus sucessivos governos – incluindo Trump e Biden – de romper com a mentalidade de primazia dos EUA resultou numa situação de “dominação sem hegemonia”, na qual desempenham papel cada vez mais disfuncional no mundo. Essa dinâmica mergulhou o mundo num período de caos sistêmico análogo à primeira metade do século XX.
