Call and Contextualization for the Dossier "The Second Trump administration and the multiple dimensions of the hegemonic crisis":

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has reignited debates on the strength of the global far-right, its mechanisms of transnational articulation, and its impacts on the contemporary international order. In this context, interpretations that point to the multiple crises of the so-called hegemonic Liberal International Order have gained prominence, involving its institutions but not limited to them. At stake are the fissures in the forms of regulation of capitalist production, the degradation of natural resources, disputes over the construction of subjectivities, and, ultimately, the contestation over possible futures.

Although the reemergence of powers such as China and Russia has, in recent decades, been identified as a key driver of a potential systemic transition, the political and socioeconomic transformations observed in the United States place the country at the epicenter of these crises. These dynamics underscore the relevance of the domestic realm to processes of hegemonic production – and deconstruction. At the same time, the strengthening of Trumpism and its transnational reverberations raise questions about the possibilities and limits of alternative political projects within the progressive spectrum.

In light of this, this special issue seeks to examine the impacts of the renewed Trumpist agenda in the United States, articulating domestic and international perspectives. Contributions from different disciplines and approaches are welcome, particularly those that expand the understanding of Trumpism both within the U.S. context and in its global projections.

Submissions may address, among other topics:

  • Conjunctural analyses of the second Trump administration, political disputes within the United States, and their impacts across different dimensions of public policy;
  • The effects and possibilities stemming from the rise of global and regional far-right, including its narratives and mechanisms of transnational coordination;
  • Comparative studies between Trumpism and other global expressions of the far-right;
  • Diverse forms of contestation of liberalism in the United States and in transnational arenas;
  • The impacts of political transformations in the United States on the various regions of the Global South and/or on strategic competition among major powers;
  • The consequences of the resurgence of far-right in the United States and globally for multilateralism, regionalism, democracy, human rights, and/or the forms and uses of violence;
  • Systemic crises associated with the U.S. hegemonic crisis, including political, economic, subjective, and environmental dimensions;
  • Scenarios and disputed futures both within and beyond the United States.
