The post-Christian West and post-Western World(Refeudalisation of Europe – II Part) While the Western world is increasingly post-Christian and cosmopolitan, its Eastern sibling is trapped in a post-ideological bubble: strikingly entrenched and enveloped in its neo-religionism.

Just 20 years ago, the distance between Moscow and NATO … More Neo-religionism of the post ideological Russia (Refeudalisation of Europe – I Part) by Dr. Anis H. Bajrektarevic 2017-04-19

How to draw the line between the recent and still unsettled EU/EURO crisis and Asia’s success story? Well, it might be easier than it seems: Neither Europe nor Asia has any alternative.

Geopolitics of Climate Change: Future of Tao and Quantum Buddhism by Dr. Anis H. Bajrektarevic 2016-09-18

Dead or maybe d(r)ead?… That much comes from a cluster of European nation-states that love to romanticize – in a grand metanarrative of dogmatic universalism – their appearance as of the coherent Union, as if they themselves lived a long, cordial and … More Near East and the Nearer Brussles – Euro(h)ope possible? by Dr. Anis H.
