Featuring a range of experts on the American presidency, this book offers both European and American perspectives on both the successes and failures of Obamaâ?Ts tenure in the White House. Focusing primarily on domestic policy, the book explains why the widely anticipated moment of change did not fully materialise. The Obama presidency navigated partisan and institutional obstacles, but quickly lost its 2008 momentum: these developments illustrate the weakening of the institutional Presidency in a larger context of polarised politics. Many of the fault lines of American society were thus left largely unaddressed, paving the way for the Trump campaign in 2016. | Obama's Fractured Legacy by François Vergniolle de Chantal, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
