Resumen
RAPOSO, Henrique. The new political West. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2010, n.26, pp.47-54. ISSN 1645-9199.
Western values have been expanded to Asia. However, this Western expansion leads to a problem when we look at the concept of West. The expansion of the West to the Indic and Pacific Oceans, whereas it formerly comprised just the North Atlantic region, demands that we create a new concept with the analytical capacity to capture this enlarged Western world. As a matter of fact, Barack Obama speaks about a Global System of Democracies. This democratic global system is a new political West that goes well beyond the old West, geographically confined to the North Atlantic.
