When the term “Atlantic civilization” was coined in the 18th century, the underlying idea was meant to combine the values of the French and the American Revolutions. People’s ability to engage in self-criticism remains the essential quality of the Atlantic civilization.

The Atlantic civilization is united these days, or so it seems. The Arab world may well have entered its genuine Thirty-Year War, while nobody knows how long Russian imperialism may last.
