The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

"The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" by Samuel P. Huntington argues that future global conflicts will stem from cultural and civilizational differences rather than ideological or economic disputes. He suggests that after the Cold War, major tensions will mainly occur between different civilizations—such as Western, Islamic, Confucian, and others—due to differing values, traditions, and identities. Huntington emphasizes that understanding these cultural divides is key to managing international relations and maintaining stability, as conflicts are likely to be rooted in deep-rooted civilizational identities rather than superficial political or economic issues.
