In his lecture "American Foreign Policy under Trump 2.0 and the Consequences for European Geostrategy," Professor David Criekemans will focus on how the "America First" agenda reshapes global dynamics. He will dive into Great Power Politics, examining how Trump's policies impact relations with China and Russia. This analysis will provide insights into the strategic maneuvers and counter-maneuvers that define this high-stakes geopolitical chess game.
Furthermore, the lecture will explore the shift from traditional multilateralism to a preference for bilateral agreements. Professor Criekemans will discuss the broader implications of this shift on international cooperation, trade, and diplomacy, highlighting how these changes affect global alliances and partnerships.
Finally, the lecture will address European Geostrategy, analyzing the ripple effects of American foreign policy on Europe's security landscape and strategic priorities. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how European nations are adapting to these changes and what it means for the future of transatlantic relations.
This lecture will provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving geopolitical landscape and its profound effects on Europe.
ABOUT: Dr. David Criekemans was born in Antwerp, Belgium (1974). He obtained a Master degree in International Politics at the University of Antwerp (UIA) in 1996, and became European Master of Public Administration at the KULeuven, in 1997. In 2005 he defended his PhD at the University of Antwerp on the intellectual history of Geopolitics (1890-2005) and its relation to Theory of International Relations. The manuscript was published with the Belgian scientific publisher Garant under the title “Geopolitiek, ‘geografisch geweten’ van de buitenlandse politiek?”. After more than ten years this book is recognized as the standard work on geopolitical theory and its intellectual history in the Dutch-speaking language area. Recently, David Criekemans published a new book on Europe in the midst of a world in full geopolitical transition; “Geopolitieke Kanttekeningen 2011-2018, en daarna. Een wereld in volle geopolitieke transitie”, with the Belgian scientific publisher Gompel&Svacina.
Today, Dr. David Criekemans is Associate Professor in ‘International Relations’ at the University of Antwerp (Belgium), Assistant Professor ‘International Relations & International Security’ at the University College Roosevelt (part of Utrecht University) in Middelburg (the Netherlands) and Senior Lecturer ‘Geopolitics’ at the Geneva Institute of Geopolitical Studies (GIGS) (Switzerland).
