Opis

In recent years culture has become the primary currency of politics   from the identity politics that characterised the American 2016 election to the push back against Western universalism in much of the non–Western world.

Much less noticed is the rise of a new political entity, the civilizational state.

Recenzje

Considerable erudition and inventiveness run through this analysis of Western and non–Western political forces which have exploited the language of civilization to promote nationalist or statist objectives. The Rise of the Civilizational State is highly recommended to all students of contemporary global transformations.
Andrew Linklater, Aberystwyth University
