“Again, I think there was partly a cross-cutting cleavage issue there with caste and religion.”

“I don’t think there’s anything magical that the French are doing that the Dutch are not in terms of integration policy. I think too much is made of that.”

“I think pretty pacifist, and this is why there’s many dimensions of nationalism.”

“Number one, even if the European population consisted only of immigrants, if the immigration flow is only minority Muslim — I think the average is only about 20, 25 percent — then that’s going to be your population.”

“We already see it to some extent, where, I think, 60 percent of people who have at least one Mexican grandparent identify as white rather than Latino.”

“If you consider individualism to also extend to expressive cultural forms, such as divorce or different forms of sexuality, then I think there would be more of a clash between that brand of, say, American Christianity or Christian fundamentalism and individualism.”

“I think the most plausible scenario is that Northern Ireland Protestants don’t have the same hostility to the Republic that they have traditionally had, so maybe a kind of charm offensive.”

“Also, there’s a new party called the People’s Party, which did get 11 percent in a by-election in greater Vancouver. So I think the idea that English Canada is immune from this is actually wrong, and we’re going to see more of it going forward.”

“I don’t necessarily think it is wrong, other than the fact that, right now, the economy is about 85 percent government.”

“Now, it doesn’t mean I’m closed to an argument for making some alterations, but I think the essence of it should be preserved.”

“We’ve seen that decline dramatically, so I think perhaps you might say that he overestimated the tenacity and durability of that associational life, that it may not survive the current secularization and individualism.”

“Definitely, I think, when you grow up abroad and you are a foreigner in another country, you think more about identity, and particularly national identity.”

“In my view, they should just rebuild it as it was. I think that adding bells and whistles wouldn’t do much for it.”

“I always return to East Asia because you can see where they have the internet and they’ve got a lot of modernity, but I’m not sure that politics has changed anywhere near as much there as it has, say, in the West.”

“I take more the Daniel Bell view, that essentially modernism represents a break towards the end of the 19th century with tradition, that it’s about novelty, difference, immediacy.”

“Whereas prior to Kennedy, I think there was really a structural reason why you wouldn’t have had a Catholic president because there was a strong anti-Catholic dimension in the population.”
- Publisher

“The most creative phase was where you still had a traditional culture to push against, and that gave creativity to modernism. Most of the modernism that I like is from that period of the 1910s, ’20s, ’30s.”

“Because, I think, for a long time, essentially, the security situation kept investors away.”
