Television was our chief tool in selling our policy.

I think what Mr. Trump has made clear is that he would not undertake optional wars, what I have called wars of choice, a la, say Iraq in 2003 or Libya, for the purposes of transforming another country. It's not clear whether Hillary Clinton, if she were to have the opportunity, would do such a thing again or whether she would have taken a - the lesson from both Iraq and Libya that we ought not to be undertaking those kinds of wars of choice.

Donald Trump is much more suspicious of international institutions; much more skeptical of the contributions that America's traditional allies have made; more willing, in some cases, to entertain the possibility of getting along with countries who some would call an adversary, such as Mr. Putin's Russia.

Sovereignty must be redefined if states are to cope with globalisation.

Some governments are prepared to give up elements of sovereignty to address the threat of global climate change.

Shockingly enough, what people say during campaigns is meant to increase the odds they get elected.

Globalisation thus implies that sovereignty...needs to become weaker.
