"Johan Galtung’s view from Europe: Turkey Getting Unstuck
“There is a message for the USA: when your century-old empire falls, reinvent yourself. The USA bestowed 'A New Beginning' generously on millions of immigrants; now be equally generous to yourselves. Secularize, you are no more 'under god' than anybody else. Go beyond modernization and state building, revive the local, regionalize with neighbors, globalize but equitably, not imperially, move the capital out of Washington, closer to real people; the place has acquired a bad name. Learn from Turkey.”"
