In his groundbreaking book “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order,” political scientist Samuel Huntington argues that the world is no longer divided along ideological or economic lines, but rather along cultural and religious boundaries.
Huntington contends that in the post-Cold War era, conflicts between different civilizations – such as Western, Islamic, and Confucian – will be the primary source of global conflict. He argues that these civilizations have different values, beliefs, and traditions that are inherently incompatible, leading to clashes and tensions.
According to Huntington, the West’s promotion of democracy and human rights may not be universally accepted by other civilizations, which may have different priorities and forms of governance. The rise of identity politics and the resurgence of religion in politics further exacerbate these divisions, leading to a more fragmented and polarized world.
While some critics have dismissed Huntington’s thesis as simplistic and deterministic, others have praised his insights into the complexities of global politics and the challenges of cultural diversity. Regardless of one’s position, “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order” remains a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to shape debates on international relations and the future of the world order.
