TITLU în română: Lacrimi de identitate civilizaţională: paradigma emergentă a Egiptului pentru o diplomaţie culturală globală
Subiect: This article primarily concerns the idea that ‘civilization’ can be a key around which a national identity is woven. I argue that, as in the case of Egypt today, this civilizational identity can be deployed to rebuild a contemporary national identity woven as the basis for development. It is here proposed that an emergent model would serve as alternative to the coalitional model promoted as “Endless War” through “constructive chaos” that characterized US-led international relations since the event of 9/11 in Manhattan, New York in the United States. This analysis lays out this envisioned scenario emerging in today’s turbulent world as it invokes a deep civilizational identity weaving itself into a national identity to serve as a core component of a new global cultural diplomacy, thus leading to an emergent global world paradigm for economic and political exchanges, which I label “global ring of mutual alliances”.
