A new assessment of the Wests colonial record

In the wake of the dissolution of the Soviet empire in 1989, many believed that we had arrived at the End of History that the global dominance of liberal democracy had been secured forever.

Now however, with Russia rattling its sabre on the borders of Europe and China rising to challenge the post-1945 world order, the liberal West faces major threats.

These threats are not only external. Especially in the Anglosphere, the decolonisation movement corrodes the Wests self-confidence by retelling the history of European and American colonial dominance as a litany of racism, exploitation, and massively murderous violence.
