Reforming USAID and the U.S. Political Landscape

This chapter critically examines the potential restructuring or shutdown of USAID, drawing parallels with the transformation of X (formerly Twitter) and emphasizing the need for entrepreneurial management styles. It discusses the implications of changing U.S. foreign assistance programs, the emerging multipolar world, and the pushback from entrenched bureaucracy against new policies under the Trump administration. The conversation highlights the significance of governmental appointments and the evolving political dynamics as the U.S. navigates its interests on the global stage.
