He argues that the postcolonial challenge exposes the limitation of Western social thought to explain many pressing social and economic issues, domestic and global. The End of Conceit concludes that, ultimately, what the West needs is not more and better theory but an entirely new way of thinking - one that will put an end to its current deep-seated conceit. 606 $aCivilization, Western$y21st century 606 $aSociology 607 $aWestern countries$xForeign relations 615 0$aCivilization, Western 615 0$aSociology. 676 $a327.091821 700 $aChabal$b Patrick$0243091 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808270503321 996 $aEnd of conceit$94014608 997 $aUNINA
