Decentring the West

Decentring the West by Viatcheslav Morozov is a thought-provoking exploration published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2013. With 224 pages, this hardback book delves into the pressing necessity of reevaluating the global democratic consensus. Morozov critically examines diverse perspectives on democracy from nations situated on the semi-periphery of the world system, including Russia, Turkey, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, and China, alongside insights from the core, notably Estonia.

This compelling work challenges conventional narratives and encourages readers to consider the multifaceted nature of democracy beyond Western paradigms. Ideal for scholars, students, and anyone interested in global politics, Decentring the West provides a fresh lens through which to understand the complexities of democratic ideals in a rapidly changing world.
