Global Affairs Session 19 21 April 2026 THE DONROE DOCTRINE From the Monroe Doctrine to a Trump-era policy of hemispheric dominance The 1823 Monroe Doctrine warned European powers against colonisation and interference in the Americas. This session then examines the “Donroe Doctrine,” presented as a 2026-era reinterpretation associated with the second Trump administration: a more assertive effort to preserve American dominance in the Western Hemisphere, restrict Russian and Chinese influence, secure strategic resources and apply military, trade and sanctions pressure. It also considers the implications for India.
