Empire in Denial

Více o knize

The book critiques contemporary state-building efforts, arguing that they undermine the self-governance of non-western states. It highlights how interventionist policies from the 1990s have shifted to international programs aimed at poverty reduction and governance, yet these approaches fail to establish legitimate authority. By focusing on bureaucratic solutions, the current agenda exacerbates divisions between the West and non-West, neglecting the essential ties of power and accountability crucial for rebuilding post-conflict societies.
