A variant of Westology, focusing specifically on the cultural, political, and economic systems of the Global North/West as objects of critical study. Westernology examines the mythologies of progress, individualism, and free markets as ideological constructs—analogous to how Sovietology examined Marxist‑Leninist ideology. It studies elite reproduction through universities and corporate boards, the management of public opinion via media, and the rituals of elections as performances of legitimacy. Westernology treats the West not as a transparent norm but as a particular, contingent system worthy of the same skeptical scrutiny once reserved for the Eastern bloc.
