Footnote 001: "The long game was the wrong game."

Nomosphone: A Global Law Podcast

Today, we're launching something new that we're calling "Footnotes". In these episodes we're endeavouring to regularly bring you interesting discourses delivered in a variety of formats that concern topical global law issues. In our inaugural Footnote episode, we bring you a reflection on President Obama's foreign policy legacy over his eight years in office. This lecture was given by Dr. Randall Lesaffer, a professor and historian of international law at Tilburg University Law School, mere weeks after the inauguration of President Trump. What global impact has Obama's foreign policy had? Are the views of Obama and Trump regarding the place of the US in the global order really that divergent? And can an Obama legacy withstand a radical departure in US foreign policy as indicated by Trump in only his first months in office? Join us!
