Obama and the Emergence of a Multipolar World Order - Redefining U.s. Foreign Policy

U.S. foreign policy under Obama would be defined by international and domestic pressures that shook the rules-based international order. In response to an increasingly multipolar system, Obama transitioned foreign policy away from U.S. hegemony toward a more scaled-back role that would culminate in the rise of Trump and America First.
