Abstract

As editors of the American Business Review (ABR), we write this editorial at a moment of global inflection. ABR has prioritized research that matters—not only to academic scholars, but to business practitioners, students, and policy observers. The new policy directions under the Trump 2.0 administration offer a reconfigured environment, where global trade, education, immigration, and enterprise are undergoing rapid recalibration. These changes call for rigorous academic engagement, not ideological entrenchment.

Our role at ABR is not to advocate political positions. Rather, we aim to encourage and curate scholarship that interprets, questions, and informs real-world business dynamics. This new era, characterized by reciprocal tariffs, changing immigration enforcement, and a revived debate around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), presents precisely such a moment.
