VINHA, Luís da. Predictably Incoherent: A Preliminary Analysis of Donald Trump's Foreign Policy. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2017, n.55, pp.09-33. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2017.55a02.

The election of Donald Trump took the world by surprise. Trump won the us presidential election by presenting a foreign policy program emphasizing a strong sense of national affiliation. Many allied countries and political commentators are worried that Trump might embark on a temporary reversal of traditional American internationalism or even endanger the liberal global order. The initial months of Trump's presidency reveal a foreign policy marked by incoherence. The article argues that the policy incoherence results from Trump's leadership style. More precisely, the article presents a profile of Trump's leadership style based on an analysis of his aspiration for power, sense of efficacy and competence, cognitive complexity, emotional intelligence, and political experience and skill.

Palabras clave : Donald Trump; foreign policy; leadership style; policy incoherence.
