Abstract

Razdoblje od 2009. do 2021. godine bilo je doista turbulentno za vanjsku politiku Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Barack Obama kao 44. predsjednik u svoja dva mandata i Donald Trump kao 45. predsjednik sa jednim odrađenim mandatom uveli su SAD u moderni pristup vanjskoj politici. Takva vanjska politika odigrala se kroz široko postavljene vanjskopolitičke doktirne koje jako teško mogu biti opisane u samo par riječi te kroz modernije medije nego li ih tradicionalno poznaje američka diplomacija. Oba predsjednika kreirala su svoj imidž i kroz objektivno drugačije narative, koji će biti analizirani u ovom radu, su sebi i američkoj vanjskoj politici postavili mnogo ciljeva koje su ispunili u različitim omjerima uspješnosti. Postavlja se pitanje, jesu li oni, predsjednik Nobelovac poznat po svojem mirnom pristupu i govorima u kojim svaka riječ nosi težinu te predsjednik koji je promijenio platformu komunikacije i uveo je dominantno u digitalni svijet bez straha od direktnog načina izražavanja, zbilja toliko različiti? Koje su to sličnosti i razlike u vanjskopolitičkim obećanjima i provođenju vanjske politike američkih predsjednika Baracka Obame i Donalda Trumpa? Jesu li ih njihove različite vizije zapravo dovele do istih vanjskopolitičkih rezultata.

Abstract (english)

The period between 2009. and 2021. was a very turbulent time for United States foreign policy. Barack Obama as the 44th president with his two terms served and Donald Trump as the 45th president with so far only one term served led the USA into a modern approach in foreign and international politics. This foreign policy played out through very wide interpretations of foreign policy doctrines that cannot simply be described in a few words or phrases, and through modern media that has so far been neglected by the American foreign policy and diplomacy. Both presidents created their own image and through objectively different narratives, that will be analysed in this paper, set themselves and American foreign policies many goals that were completed with varying amounts of success. The question that remains is, did they, the Noble prize winner known for his calm approach and speeches, in which every word plays a significant role and weight, and the president that changed the communications platform and introduced it to a dominantly digital world without fear of the direct approach, so very different? What are the similarities and differences in the foreign policy promises and leading of those policies between presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump? Did their different visions actually lead to similar foreign policy outcomes?
