Peace Maker Donald Trump: Diplomacy, Deals, and the Global Quest for Stability (2017-2025) offers the first comprehensive, evidence-based evaluation of the foreign-policy worldview and peace claims of Donald J. Trump-from his first presidency through his historic return to office in 2025.
Rejecting both hagiography and outright dismissal, this book asks a central question:
Was Trump a peacemaker-or merely a master of peace narratives?
Drawing on policy documents, summit outcomes, treaty decisions, trade actions, and post-presidency signaling, Prof. Dr. Milton Biswas critically examines Trump's distinctive "deal doctrine"-a form of leader-centric, transactional diplomacy that reshaped alliances, challenged institutions, and redefined peace as leverage.
Key case studies include:
· The Abraham Accords and Middle East normalization
· North Korea summitry and nuclear diplomacy optics
· NATO burden-sharing and alliance pressure politics
· Trade wars, tariffs, and sanctions as instruments of "stability"
· Treaty exits and re-entries (Iran, Climate) as peace strategy
· The 2024 election, mandate claims and the 2025 return to power
The book introduces an original Peace-Score Framework, measuring diplomacy through ceasefire durability, normalization depth, violence trends and institutionalization-allowing readers to judge outcomes beyond rhetoric.
Balanced, interdisciplinary and globally contextualized, this volume is essential reading for:
· Students and scholars of international relations
· Policymakers and diplomats
· Journalists and political analysts
· Readers seeking clarity beyond partisan narratives
Peace Maker Donald Trump does not ask readers to agree-it equips them to evaluate.
