'Human Rights Imperialism' or Global Homogenization of Culture? Has the Age of Revolution ended in 1989?

Meer over het boek

The essay critically examines Fukuyama's theory of global homogenization and contrasts it with Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations," which advocates for a multi-polar world. It explores post-1989 examples that challenge the relevance of Fukuyama's arguments and delves into the complexities of defining revolution across different contexts. By analyzing these contrasting viewpoints, the essay highlights the ongoing debates in cultural studies regarding globalization and civilizational identity.
