Vakarų civilizacijos raidos perspektyvos: dėl ko (ne)sutaria europiečiai ir amerikiečiai?
The Development Perspectives of Western Civilization: What Do Europeans and Americans (Dis)Agree About?

Summary/Abstract: The West, primarily the European Union and the United States of America, have shown a remarkable unity and cohesion in their response to the Russo-Ukrainian War (2014–), upholding the right of Ukraine as a sovereign democratic state to defend its independence and territorial integrity. However, this civilizational unity in the West may be short-lived. There are pressing reasons for the hypothesis that Europe and North America are at structural odds concerning the current state and future course of human history, including the international political mechanisms by which that course should be implemented. If this divergence is not managed on a timely basis, it may fracture Western civilization into two. Will the West be preserved? The article argues that it may be preserved by unraveling two paradoxes: one for the European Union and one for the United States.
