. Caldwell explains that his book is about the problems immigration poses local populations, not the problems of immigrants, real though these are. But since he speculates at some length about the subjective attitudes of Muslims in Europe, it is difficult to see how their objective situations can, by his own logic, be legitimately bracketed.

. The phrase is Walter Laqueur's:
The Last Days of Europe
, New York, 2007, p. 100; Caldwell avoids such flourishes, but the general sense is comparable.

. The classic statement of this case, yet to be either refuted or surpassed, is to be found Ernest Gellner's essay ‘The Rubber Cage: Disenchantment with Disenchantment', in his
Culture, Identity, and Politics
, Cambridge 1987, pp. 152–65.

. If the trope of diversity has supplied long-standing grounds for European self-congratulation, it is noticeable that less often celebrated has been what might be taken as its corollary—mixture. Ranke, as we have seen, expressly warned against it. Only the occasional
esprit fort
risked this more explosive terrain. Galiani stands out: ‘Inconstancy is a physical law of all animal species. Without it, no fertility, no variety, no perfectibility. The immense variety of the nations which have peopled or intermingled in Europe, has made the perfection of our race. The Chinese have stupefied themselves only by their failure to mix with others; since the arrival of the Tartars, they have gained a lot. Here is another strange line of thought':
Correspondance inédite de l'Abbe Ferdinand Galiani
, Vol. II, Paris 1818 [1776–7], p. 272. Not that he was any triumphalist: ‘Long live the Chinese! They are an ancient nation that regards us as children and scoundrels, while we think it a great thing to roam the seas and lands, bringing everywhere war, discord, our ingots, our guns, our bible and our small-pox.' Vol. I, p. 87. In later times, only Madariaga seems to have made a similar move from diversity to hybridity, remarking that perhaps the happy unity of Europe really rested on the crossing of its races, among which were to be numbered Mongols and Jews:

. For Machiavelli, the originator of the idea that conflict was a condition of freedom and power, it was the struggles between patricians and plebs that gave the Roman Republic both its liberty and its imperial dynamism––‘Had Rome sought to eliminate the causes of tumults, it would also have eliminated the causes of expansion':
Opere III,
Turin 1997, (ed. Vivanti), pp. 208–17. For Ferguson, the virtues of emulation were pre-eminently martial: ‘Without the rivalship of nations, and the practice of war, civil society itself could scarcely have found an object, or a form':

(1767), Cambridge 1995 (ed. Oz-Salzberger), p. 28. For Ranke, see above, p. 494.
