Europeans and Americans always cared very much about this, and continue to do so. They use it as an excuse to say they need to bring science and democracy to the rest of the world.

No “excuse” is needed to bring science to the rest of the world. If you beg to differ, please explain how we would be better served by unscientific approaches to problem-solving.

IMO democracy is the least-worst political system, so no “excuse” is needed there, either.

Democracy and Science are both good things.
