Whose World Order?

More about the book

The book delves into the Russian elite's critical engagement with American concepts of world order, particularly focusing on Fukuyama's "end of history" thesis and Huntington's "clash of civilizations." Tsygankov argues that these ideas are perceived by Russians as ethnocentric and potentially harmful, limiting social creativity and justifying Western dominance. He emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural perceptions in international relations and suggests ways to overcome biases for a more inclusive global dialogue. This work is significant for scholars in international relations and Russian studies.
