"The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" by Samuel P. Huntington, first published in 1996, presents a provocative thesis that has stirred considerable debate in the realms of international relations and political science. Huntington argues that in the post-Cold War era, global conflicts will primarily be driven by cultural and civilizational differences rather than ideological or economic factors. The book asserts that these clashes will define the future geopolitical landscape, challenging the prevailing notion of a unipolar world order. Huntington identifies several major civilizations, such as the Western, Islamic, Chinese, and Hindu civilizations, each with distinct cultural values, traditions, and historical experiences, and predicts that conflicts will emerge along the fault lines between these civilizations.
