==Analysis== As the decade drew to a close, some commentators looked back on it as a politically unstable period. An article in the ''[[The New York Times|New York Times]]'' stated: "With the rise of nationalist movements and a backlash against globalisation on both sides of the Atlantic, the liberal post-World War II order β based on economic integration and international institutions β began to unravel." It heavily discussed the US presidency of Donald Trump (a reality TV Star and businessman with no political experience at the time of taking office, succeeding Barack Obama) whilst also commenting, "Echoes of Mr. Trump's nationalist populism can be found in Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] of Britain's recent electoral victory and the Brexit referendum of 2016, and in the ascent of the far-right President [[Jair Bolsonaro]] of Brazil and Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] of India.

The article also noted that, in Britain, "politics since 2010 has often been manic. Parties have hastily changed their leaders and policies; sometimes their entire guiding philosophies. Last week's general election was the fourth of the decade; the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s had two apiece."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Beckett |first=Andy |date=17 December 2019 |title=The age of perpetual crisis: how the 2010s disrupted everything but resolved nothing |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/dec/17/decade-of-perpetual-crisis-2010s-disrupted-everything-but-resolved-nothing |access-date=26 September 2020 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> Similar trends of political unrest were felt beyond the Western world, as suggested in ''The Asian Review'', which described the 2010s as a "tumultuous time for Asia, sometimes tragic, sometimes triumphant and never dull".<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 December 2019 |title=The 2010s in review: A decade of political and economic shocks |url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/The-2010s-in-review-A-decade-of-political-and-economic-shocks |access-date=26 September 2020 |website=Nikkei Asian Review}}</ref>
