The West Versus the Rest and The Myth of Western Exceptionalism

Challenging the notion of Western superiority, the author critiques the idea of Western exceptionalism by highlighting imperialism as a common trait among core Western nations. The book dissects claims about democracy, human rights, and contributions to science, arguing against views held by thinkers like Huntington and Fukuyama. It exposes the negative impacts of neoliberalism on democracy, morality, and social equality, making it essential reading for those interested in international relations and contemporary issues.
