Saint Augustine’s “City of God” is a foundational document in International Relations, analyzing historical events—in this case the sack of Rome—through the lens of the Christian faith.

Yet the empirical record disagrees, as geography and context muddy these theoretical waters.

Mar 13, 2025 | e-ir.info | Amitav Acharya

The most enduring consequence of Donald Trump’s second coming could be the end of the idea of the West, at least in its contemporary, geopolitical and geo-economic sense, caused by an irrevocable fracture of the relationship of mutual trust and benefit between the US and its closest allies, Canada and the NATO/EU members. From the outset, America’s European allies saw Trump’s return to office with trepidation.
