The US has now chosen Donald Trump as its next president. The election revealed the US more divided than ever―by race, gender, income, education and ideology―as well as an underlying advancement of multiculturalism that has led to identity politics. Professor Aida, an expert on the Trump phenomenon, will analyze the future of US politics, economy, and society, and discuss the implications for the global society.
