A collection of essays examining the fundamental tension between mass migration and political stability in Western democracies. Drawing on the political theory of Carl Schmitt and the military history of Martin van Creveld, Jonas Nilsson argues that liberal democracy's refusal to acknowledge group dynamics-identity, interests, and power-renders it incapable of addressing the conflicts that demographic transformation inevitably produces.
Through case studies spanning Rhodesia's collapse, South Africa's land reform, and Sweden's multicultural experiment, the book explores how ideological universalism blinds Western societies to existential political realities. Nilsson contends that when incompatible groups share territory without genuine political negotiation, the result is not peaceful coexistence but escalating conflict. First through parallel structures, then through violence.
