"The relations between countries in the coming decade are most likely to reflect their cultural commitments, their cultural ties and antagonism with other countries."

Previous Quote

Countries will cooperate with each other, and are more likely to cooperate with each other when they share a common culture, as is most dramatically illustrated in the European Union. But other groupings of countries are emerging in East Asia and in South America. Basically, as I said, these politics will be oriented around, in large part, cultural similarities and cultural antagonism.
