Its struggle is not one of steady progress toward greater freedom and equality, but rather for every step forward there is a step taken in a different direction.

He also examines the afterlives of the refugees in the receiving countries, which almost always benefited from admitting them. He reconceptualizes Europe as a unit of geography and historiography.
