Decentring the West (eBook, PDF)

The Idea of Democracy and the Struggle for Hegemony
Redaktion: Morozov, Viatcheslav

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Decentring the West aims to demonstrate the urgent need to revisit the foundations of the global democratic consensus. By examining the views of democracy that exist in the countries on the semi-periphery of the world system such as Russia, Turkey, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil and China, as well as within the core (Estonia, Denmark and Sweden) the authors emphasize the truly universal significance of democracy, also showing the value of approaching this universality in a critical manner, as a consequence of the hegemonic position of the West in global politics.
