The 2024 U.S. Elections have received a great deal of attention. The controversial figure, Donald Trump being re-elected to the presidency, along with further controversial political ideas, persons, and more, trigger much discussion and debate. However, these develop-ments also invite a more in-depth and interdisciplinary academic look at the elections, the political system of the U.S, but also further facets and topics occasioned – and numerous challenges posed – by the recent U.S. elections and the new U.S. Presidential Administration: e.g. from foreign policy and international relations, politics of climate change, to digitaliza-tion, media and artificial intelligence, to name a few. This Leonardo lecture series will bring together political science, but also a variety of further disciplinary perspectives.
