Professor Zoran Avramović belongs to the circle of very famous Serbian intellectuals, and for decades he has been successfully engaged in political philosophy and modern theoretical thought. The author argues that the acute problem is modern democracy itself, its dual nature, manifested, among other things, in duplicity and "double standards". For the most part, we are talking about the problems that Western democracies create in other states, and not in their internal affairs. The imposition of "double standards" inevitably leads to the use of force against governments democratically elected by the people.The book examines the actual contradictions of modern democracy based on the views of major theorists and thinkers: Tocqueville, Spengler, Popper, Keane, Bobia. p>The book is a significant contribution to the understanding of modern Western democracy. She points to the differences between her domestic and foreign policy decisions and the actions of interested parties, as well as practical experience in using weapons against those states that, in the opinion of some Western countries, are "undesirable".
