Introduction to a divided country
— "A precise, analytical insight into the
phenomenon Trump." (Anton Pelinka,
Central European University Budapest)
— "An introduction to the contemporary US."
(Heinrich Neisser, Jean Monnet Chair of
European Integration, University of
Innsbruck)
— "Refreshingly different."
(Herbert Dorfmann, Member of the
European Parliament) Joe Biden's America is deeply divided. Donald Trump's term in office made many problems of
modern US society visible, which Biden now has to solve. What do American politics look like
under Joe Biden? What legacy did Donald Trump leave behind, and what kind of impact does
it have? How can the deeper causes, factors and drivers of current US developments be put in a
historical context? Roland Benedikter provides a thorough insight into a complex country. In a
compact and comprehensible way, he explains the background, challenges and perspectives of
the Biden era, while also providing an overview of the current state of US society and culture in
general. His analysis is suitable for teaching, decision-makers and civil society as an introduction
to today's USA.
