Huntington's theory and the clash of civilizations

Abstract

The subject of theclash of civilizations took a wide place in the intellectual field, where it was a biased discourse in which the author made the centrality of Western civilization, and the clash that he talked about justified the meanings of hegemony and that it exists, because it is a historical development, because of political and economic problems in addition to ethnicity, although these conflicts in the contemporary world will not be ideologically or economically in the first place. The major divisions also take a cultural character between humanity, and the main source of conflict is the cultural source, although the United States of America was imbued with the concept of collision between cultures, but it did not take a solution of Samuel Huntington, and it was deluded It works to reconcile the West with itself, through modern terms and concepts that have sought to be accepted by other societies. The issue of conflict is one of the issues raised by many who were interested in this subject, through research and theorizing to expand from a conflict within the state, or a conflict within a single civilization, to a clash of civilizations, which he identified as a strategic choice for the United States of America after the end of the Cold War and its dealing with the non-Western world, as many issues about which controversy was reflected within the circles of Western political and academic circles, especially in the United States of America, which was about the idea that cultural differences will increasingly determine the shape of the future international system, but Huntington addressed this discussion and stated that civilizations are from She paints the world.
