Huntington samuel p - the clash of civilizations 1996 (original) (raw)

In "The Clash of Civilizations," Samuel Huntington argues that future conflicts will be driven not by ideological or economic differences, but by cultural and religious identities. He posits that distinct civilizations will clash due to deep-rooted cultural differences that are often intertwined with ethnicity and historical grievances. This perspective raises critical questions about the validity of cultural essentialism and the dynamic nature of cultural identities, necessitating a reevaluation of how civilizations are defined and understood in a modern context.
