Whose World Order?

More about the book

Exploring the reception of American world order ideas by Russian elites, the book examines how concepts like Fukuyama's "end of history" and Huntington's "clash of civilizations" are perceived in Russia. Tsygankov argues that these theories are often seen as ethnocentric and limiting, hindering social creativity and justifying a Western-centric global order. He emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural perceptions in international relations and suggests ways to overcome ethnocentric biases, making this work significant for scholars in related fields.
