The Geopolitics of Cultural Differences and Europe's Identity Crisis

This text provides an in-depth geopolitical analysis of Europe's contemporary identity crisis, contrasting it with alternative models of civilizational order. The author examines East Asia, where modernization is combined with an inviolable ethical core, and the United States, examining the mechanisms of assimilation and constitutional patriotism. At the center of the discussion is a critique of the doctrine of multiculturalism, which, according to the author, leads to the erosion of the state's normative core. Drawing on the work of Douglas Murray, the article diagnoses the culture of self-criticism as a barrier to European agency. A key postulate is to regain normative capacity and cultural sovereignty by understanding the clash of norms within social logic. This is an indispensable voice in the debate on the future of integration and the survival of the Western order in the face of global power shifts.
