| Zusammenfassung: | "Western-style democracy is in decline the world over. The US-led international order, which has largely been responsible for pushing Western-style democracy on the rest of the world, is increasingly challenged by China, Russia, and the former US client-states in the Middle East. To understand why this is happening and where we can go from here, it makes sense to look to the Global South, where Western-style democracy has never developed strong roots, and where alternative models have already begun to emerge. Drawing on decades of personal, on-the-ground experience as well as on extensive research, renowned investigative journalist John Young offers a groundbreaking new account of this history and these emerging alternatives. Focusing on the countries in which his expertise is most authoritative-Ethiopia, Sudan, and South Sudan-Young shows how Western democracy repeatedly, inevitably fails not because of flaws in its political model, but rather because of flaws in its development model. Its exclusive focus on the supremacy of market capitalism, Young demonstrates, necessarily entails a loss of national sovereignty and a truncated notion of human rights that leaves little room for citizens' engagement or socio-economic justice. Such blind-spots and shortcomings account for much of the struggle and conflict that have plagued the Horn of Africa since the 1970s, they reverberate throughout similar developments across the Global South, and they are what have refocused new and innovative grassroots struggles to overcome national oppression, end unequal development, and raise living standards.
