The Clash of Civilizations (Samuel P. Huntington)

"The Clash of Civilizations" is a theory proposed by Samuel P. Huntington, suggesting that future conflicts will primarily arise from cultural and religious differences rather than ideological or economic ones. Huntington argues that the world is divided into distinct civilizations, each with its own values and beliefs, and that these differences will lead to tensions and conflicts. He identifies major civilizations, such as Western, Islamic, and Confucian, and warns that interactions between them, especially where fundamental differences exist, can lead to misunderstandings and confrontations in a globalized world.
