Ece Temelkuran

Award-winning Turkish novelist, political commentator and author of "How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship" and "Together: 10 Choices for a Better Now"

A new social contract in Europe cannot only aspire to survive. It must set the rules to survive beautifully
