The return of Donald Trump to the White House has reignited deep uncertainty about the trajectory of global development cooperation. Long before 2025, the multilateral system was already under pressure. But Trump’s second term marks a normative rupture: the retreat of the United States not just from global leadership, but from the very principles of internationalism, multilateralism, and development solidarity it once helped to construct. In response to this new reality, EADI and the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) convened a diverse group of researchers to reflect on the implications of the “Trump 2.0 moment”. The result is a newly released EADI–IDOS Discussion Paper, Development and Development Policy in the Trump Era, which brings together sixteen concise contributions from scholars based across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, offering perspectives from both the Global North and South.
