The upcoming Trump Presidency [What Think Tanks are Thinking]

Written by Marcin Grajewski,

The Republican candidate, Donald Trump, won the US presidential election on 8 November, unexpectedly defeating the Democratic nominee, former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, after a bitter campaign during which the business tycoon, with little political experience, made a number of controversial promises to radically change the government’s policies on migration, health care, climate change, international trade and NATO.

This note offers links to recent commentaries and reports published by major international think tanks and other research centres in response to the US election outcome. Analyses published before the ballot can be found in a previous edition of ‘What think tanks are thinking.’
