"United States foreign policymaking under the second Trump administration is
frequently described as erratic and incoherent.
We’ve seen the launch of trade wars and actual wars, all without consulting
allies first. This administration advances foreign policy through trial actions
that are adjusted or abandoned, depending on what happens. The administration
has a political vision, but many decisions are not easily reconciled with it.
Trump’s approach is not, however, idiosyncratic or perverse. It’s an extreme
expression of a decades-long broader shift in governance around the world,
including in Australia.
Trump’s foreign policy is symptomatic of a turn towards governance by
prototype, an approach that is traceable to Silicon Valley. But governments
aren’t in charge of products or websites. The mistakes of government can cost,
at best, huge amounts of taxpayer money, or at worst, human lives."
