The Introduction to the Geopolitical Pivot! Meet the Host!

 Script for Pivot Introductory Post:

As Samuel Huntington stated in his book “The Clash of Civilizations”: “Civilization and culture both refer to the overall way of life of a people, and a civilization is a culture writ large. They both involve the ‘values, norms, institutions, and modes of thinking to which successive generations in a given society have attached primary importance”. Emmanuel Wallerstein explained civilization as “a particular concatenation of worldview, customs, structures, and culture (both material culture and high culture) which forms some kind of historical whole and which coexists (if not always simultaneously) with other varieties of this phenomenon.”
