Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the influence of the concept of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) on American state and society during the presidency of J. Biden (2021-2025). The work shows the essence of the DEI concept, as well as the main forms of its implementation. Special attention is paid to the influence of DEI on US federal agencies, especially on the activities of the State Department and the Department of Defense. The paper also analyzes the impact of DEI on the US private sector, as well as on the American education system through the introduction of critical race theory into the curriculum. Finally, the article shows various measures of the Republicans, including the executive orders of President D. Trump, aimed at countering the DEI concept, which they consider an effective way to expand the influence of the left-liberal progressive agenda.
