When they come to Europe, they are confronted by still closed borders. Thus, the concept of open borders is a very selective concept, one that is not taken seriously at all in the experience of non-Europeans Picture Quote #1

This experience actually means the very opposite: The largest military power was unable to stop such a sensitive attack and will be unable to rule out such a possibility in the future. Precisely this is the background to the United States’ military interventions Picture Quote #1

I held a conference in Harvard where Americans said they didn’t believe in risk. They thought it was just European hysteria. Then the terrorist attacks happened and there was a complete conversion. Suddenly terrorism was the central risk Picture Quote #1

You need education. You need subsistence protection. We need jobs and social security. These are preconditions under which it will perhaps be possible to deal with these complex circumstances Picture Quote #1

That was the first major social sciences conference at which social scientists from all cultures wanted to reach a consensus on whether we can continue to pursue a national course in the social sciences or whether we need a cosmopolitan path that also connects us in a new way Picture Quote #1

The world has become so complex that the idea of a power in which everything comes together and can be controlled in a centralized way is now erroneous Picture Quote #1

Relinquishing apparent national sovereignty does not have to entail a loss of national sovereignty, but can actually be a benefit Picture Quote #1

Global conditions are far too complex to be able to imagine that they could ever be really controlled by one power Picture Quote #1

Neither science, nor the politics in power, nor the mass media, nor business, nor the law nor even the military are in a position to define or control risks rationally Picture Quote #1
