New publication: Non-Western Reflection on Politics

Petr Drulák and Šárka Moravcová are editors of the new publication "Non-Western Reflection on Politics" financed by the project RESAREAS.

The “Non-Western Reflection on Politics” (ISBN 978-3-631-64354-9) printed in 2013 by the publisher Peter Lang – International Academic Publishers was financed by the project RESAREAS (Cooperation Network for Research of the Non-European Areas).

“The Western understanding of the political world is based on such deeply ingrained concepts as power, politics, statecraft, cooperation, multilateralism, dependence, identity or human rights. The Westerners tend to wrongly assume that everyone else is bound to share these concepts. This book shows that the reality is different.“
