Samuel P. Huntington

forty years of the Twentieth Century changed the course of the world and in the end, ushered in a new world order. In his article “The Clash of Civilizations”, Samuel P. Huntington captured what the world was like at the end of the Cold War. The question during the Cold War was “What side are you on?” became now “Who are you?” Huntington illustrates that culture and cultural identities are the primary causes of conflict in the post-Cold war. Nations were attempting to answer the question they face:

The Operant Manifesto Crucify the last two letters from my last name and change my first. Call me Emmanuel. For all one knows, Samuel P. Huntington could be right about the reasons for this “clash” he describes as being “global”, a clash which occurs in the near future. Let that future hold its destiny in its hands for now. You may remember his argument, about the source of our “great division” being cultural and “not primarily ideological.” It is this that I plan to expand on but not at the expense

In Samuel P. Huntington’s article “The West: Unique, Not Universal,” he addresses his audience with a very controversial question: Is Western Culture universal or unique? Huntington elaborately opens up this question with research and examples to explain and persuade readers that the West will never be a universal culture for all, but rather a unique culture that will be accepted by those who appreciate it. For decades now, historians and scholars have debated with one another to determine who

Civilizations: A Summary of Samuel Huntington’s controversial Political Analysis and its Critics “Culture and cultural identities, which at the broadest level are civilizational identities, are shaping patterns of cohesion, disintegration, and conflict in the post-Cold War World” - Samuel Huntington POLI 100 - F10N01!

Samuel Huntington has made famous his thesis "the clash of civilizations", which was developed in his article in Foreign Affairs in 1993 and in the book that followed, in which the author expanded his thesis and reaffirmed the validity of his theory after the success and controversy that followed the publication of his article. In fact, the “civilizational” approach of conflicts today is now intrinsically linked to a comprehensive theory of international relations, which Samuel Huntington has developed

background. Huntington being one of the leading writers in this sphere has imagined a future world witnesses a clash of civilizations.According to his categorizationfrom a cultural perspective however; the world shall be divided into eight civilizations.

and civilization interchangeably, Huntington spends a great deal of time differentiating between the two. Cultures have a commonality; ancestry, religion, language, history, values, customs, and institutions. These commonalities will define cultural groups; and the largest cultural group possible, at the broadest level, is a civilization. “Culture is the common theme in almost every definition of civilization”. The civilizations, as identified by Huntington are Sinic [Chinese or Confusious],

The aim of Samuel P. Huntington’s “The Clash of Civilizations” was to provide an academic framework to understand almost all of the conflicts that had broken out since the end of the twentieth century, to include predicting the appearance of future conflicts. According to Huntington, there will be a clash of civilizations since the world has been in an unreasonable era since the end of the Cold War and the position of the nation-state has not been of any significance. Far more than the political

Thesis: A Reference to Muslim and U.S. Relations In 1992, Samuel Huntington had suggested his idea on the Clash of Civilizations (COC) which he later, in 1996, discussed in more detail in his book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (Huntington 1996). The most popular inference made from his thesis is the idea that post-Cold War conflicts will be due to cultural difference and religion rather than cooperation. Huntington surrounds this idea around eight major civilizations which

On the other hand, defenders of Huntington might argue that his thesis predicted the instability leading to the uprisings, and that his analysis of the Muslim Arab societies provided information of some important aspects of the Arab Spring, such as causes and driving forces: search for identity; Muslim political culture; affection and rejection towards the West; and Islam’s central role. This thesis aims to offer a more methodical examination of this debate, and thereby provides an more dispassionate
