«Ouest contre Ouest» is André Glucksmann's geopolitical essay, published by Plon in paperback (208 pages, in French).
Glucksmann reflects on the Iraq war, its aftermath, and the choice of allies. The dilemma is not multipolarity or unipolarity, but nihilism or civilization. He criticizes comfortable fictions and those who spoke for the victims without hearing them, and prioritizes the fall of Saddam Hussein over the «peace camp».
Published on August 28, 2003, the book includes bibliographic references.
For readers interested in geopolitics, international relations, and the intellectual debate on the Iraq war.
André Glucksmann was a French philosopher, activist, and writer. He was a leading figure of the new philosophers. Glucksmann began his career as a Marxist, who went on to reject Marxism–Leninism and real socialism in the popular book La Cuisinière et le Mangeur d'Hommes (1975), and later became an anti-Communist and outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russian foreign policy. He was a strong supporter of human rights. In later years, he opposed the claim that Islamic terrorism is the product of the clash of civilizations between Islam and the Western world.
