“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
No collapse of the Soviet union, no China, no capitalism and American nationalism. All what has happened since 1991 happened without a global context and international and regional power relations, or class realignment.
A liberal analysis by Patrick Wintour
