With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the model of liberal democracy seemingly became the only option. Today, the liberal world is crumbling before our eyes. Populism, nationalism, and a departure from liberal values accompany its decline. The West won the Cold War yet lost its political allure. How did this happen? In their brilliant political analysis, Ivan Krastev and Steven Holmes argue that the supposed "end of history" has turned out to be the beginning of the "age of imitation." For nearly three decades, the imperative for the East has been: "Imitate the West!" However, it has become evident that the life of the imitator is increasingly dominated by feelings of inadequacy, inferiority, dependency, and the loss of one's own identity. This is an enlightening read that provides new insights into the causes of the current global crises. Ivan Krastev is one of the great European thinkers of our time. Timothy Snyder. Reading Krastev is a pleasure, as his stylistic artistry brings together a love for literature, political realism, and the beauty of thought. Elisabeth von Thadden, DIE ZEIT. Stephen Holmes is one of America's most brilliant political philosophers. Tzvetan Todorov. Ivan Krastev is one of Europe's leading intellectuals. Madeleine Albright.
