Explanation of the book
Bertrand Badie explores history and political sociology to find the origins of humiliation: the rise of revenge tendencies in the interwar period and an uneven decolonization. The author shows how the habitual practice of humiliation led to the embarrassing entry of public opinion and societies into the international arena, but it also revealed the inadequacy of the old powers and their diplomacy to an increasingly globalized world.
