The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

Samuel P. Huntington's "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order," published in 1996, presents an influential thesis on the future of global conflict. It posits that the primary sources of post-Cold War conflict will not be ideological or economic, but cultural. Huntington argues that interactions between major civilizations—such as the West, Islamic, Sinic, and Hindu—will increasingly be defined by differences in values, beliefs, and worldviews, shaping international alliances and enmities.Why You Should Read?
