EURO ST 10 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Identity Evropa, White Nationalism, Authoritarianism
Document Summary
It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Nation states will remain the most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future . I want us to get beyond such oppositional thinking, which often covers up much more complex interactions. We are a generation of awakened europeans who have discovered that we are part of the great peoples, history, and civilization that flowed from the. We reject the idea that our identities are mere abstractions to be deconstructed. We oppose those who would defame our history and rich cultural heritage.
