Tsygankov examines how Russian elites engage American ideas of world order and why Russians perceive these ideas as unlikely to promote a just or stable international system. Tsygankov focuses on Francis Fukuyama's end of history thesis, which argues for the global ascendancy of Western-style market democracy, and Samuel Huntington's clash of civilizations, which drew attention to what Huntington perceived to be an increasingly dominant global disorder. Tsygankov argues that Russian intellectuals received the ideas of these two prominent American scholars critically. Tsygankov traces the reasons for Russian perceptions to the ethnocentric nature of the two sets of ideas and the inability of their authors to fully appreciate Russia's distinctive historical, geopolitical, and institutional perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout this rich study Tsygankov points to the need for scholars to study cultural perceptions in world politics as a means of elimin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Anyone seeking to understand the Russian side of the debate should read this informative and insightful study.
