Zivilisatorische Verortungen: Der "Westen" an der Jahrhundertwende (1880–1930)

The West Is A Critical Concept In The Political Vocabulary Of The 20th Century. During The Long Turn Of The Century, The West Was Reshaped In A Remarkable Way: It Denoted The Colonialist Civilizing Mission And Served As A Counterweight To The East, Which Was Associated With Russian Autocracy. The Great Powers Situated Themselves As Superior Civilizations Through Reference To The West, Thus Exposing The Ambiguities Of The Modern Age.
