Whereas the West promotes a vision of history that drives all nations toward convergence on a single social, political, and economic model (that of modern Western liberalism), Russia's political leaders increasingly portray the world as consisting of numerous distinct civilizations, each diverging toward its own unique destination. The Russian state portrays itself as defending the right of all civilizations to chart their own independent path of development and is having some success in using this logic to win allies around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Robinson recounts how ideas of inevitable convergence once dominated Russian thought as well but were gradually pushed out by civilizational theories. He outlines where these theories came from, what they propose, and how they became popular. \u003ci\u003eRussia's World Order\u003c\/i\u003e thereby reveals the true nature of today's New Cold War and the challenge that Russian civilizationism poses to the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Robinson is a Professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa.
