Question: Is the western/non-western binary helpful in thinking about political ideas? Why or why not?

19 Oct 2022,12:05 AM

 

Is the western/non-western binary helpful in thinking about political ideas? Why or why not? It is a regular undergraduate UK essay format (introduction displaying the definition of key terms, demonstrating the thesis and the structure followed by the body with a clear structure and paragraphs). In this final year essay, it is required to have a very thorough analysis and actively engage with the question and most importantly come up with a clear and solid answer to the question with arguments as well as multiple counter-arguments. The arguments can be also linked with the different schools of thoughts (Historical sociology, Postcolonial theory, Comparative Political Theory). It is needed to first explain how the western thinking is dominant and the differences between the western and non western and then how does incorporating non western thoughts help us. World politics as ​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​it is explained to students is exclusively a kind of politics that has been conceptualized and analysed by Western scholars so how would the western and non-western binary helps us rethink and challenge our political ideas. What does the study of non-conventional political authors from non-western countries add to our pre-existing knowledge of political ideas, what benefits do is it bring us, challenges?

Expert answer

 

The western/non-western binary is not helpful in thinking about political ideas because it oversimplifies the complex reality of the world. It fails to recognize that there are many different cultures and traditions within the "west" and "non-west." It also fails to take into account the fact that people can hold multiple identities. For example, someone may be both Western and Muslim. This binary way of thinking creates false dichotomies and does not reflect the reality of the world.
