Drawing on events involving the United States, Russia and China, as well as conflicts including Gaza, Ukraine and Iran, the book challenges the familiar framework of viewing international politics simply through a West versus Rest divide.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKrishnan presents de-democratisation as a global phenomenon and asks readers to reconsider how power, political alliances and solidarity are understood. Writing from a Global South perspective, she focuses on the experiences of people struggling for democracy and justice and proposes solidarity based on shared democratic aspirations rather than competing geopolitical camps.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAbout This Book\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins by questioning the assumption that the world's major powers necessarily occupy opposing political poles. It examines relationships among the United States, Russia and China and considers the similarities in their approaches to political power and the erosion of democratic and human-rights principles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKrishnan uses contemporary geopolitical crises to explore what she identifies as a wider challenge to the idea that democracy and human rights are universal. The book considers how the West-versus-Rest framework can shape international responses to oppressed peoples and potentially divide struggles that might otherwise find common ground.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRather than treating solidarity as a competition between geopolitical causes, the book asks readers to view global events from the standpoint of people seeking democracy and justice. Its perspective connects international politics with the shared aspiration for democratic rights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe concept of de-democratisation and its different political forms.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChallenges to the idea that democracy and human rights are universal.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe limitations of viewing global politics as West versus Rest.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePolitical relationships involving the United States, Russia and China.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePerspectives on Gaza, Ukraine and the US-Israel war on Iran.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow geopolitical frameworks can affect international solidarity.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStruggles for democracy and justice viewed from the Global South.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA framework for solidarity based on shared democratic aspirations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReaders interested in democracy, human rights and civil liberties.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReaders interested in contemporary international politics and geopolitics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReaders exploring Global South perspectives on world affairs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReaders interested in political solidarity and democratic movements.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Book\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDe-democratisation, a Global Story: Script, Actors and Enablers\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a Global South perspective on the challenges facing democracy and human rights in contemporary international politics.
