	Foreign Affairs - The Clash of Civilizations? - Samuel P. Huntington
		Civilizations-the highest cultural groupings of people-are differentiated from each other by religion, history, language and tradition.
		Conflict between civilizations will be the latest phase in the evolution of conflict in the modern world.
		In the politics of civilizations, the peoples and governments of non-Western civilizations no longer remain the objects of history as targets of Western colonialism but join the West as movers and shapers of history.

	Clash of Civilizations and Its Critiques
		Thus, when it comes to the clash of civilizations, the encounter between the modern industrial civilization and the Classic Civilization takes on the most violent form as it was the case with the Opium War.
		To begin with, the modern industrial civilization characterized by constant technological innovations is not expected to reach the stage of maturity as a civilization.
		On the other hand, Huntington's "Clash of the Civilizations" is superficial, and in that sense, even optimistic despite its pessimistic outlook on the future of world politics, because it fails to recognize this most fundamental intercivilizational conflict.

	Clash of Civilizations « Sub Ratione Dei
		Moreover, this idea of ideologically separate civilizations does not cohere with the known facts of history; there has always been global development and many of the so-called western developments (freedom, democracy, separation of Church and State) have not only been present elsewhere but have served as the impetus for their development in the West.
		Civilizations as culture writ large determine the political praxis of their respective identities by virtue of their shared core convictions.
		In the case of the conflict between the Western and the Islamic civilizations Huntington lays the issue of the western emphasis on social pluralism, representative democracy, separation of religious and civil power, and individualism as key points of friction (Huntington, 2002: 70-72).

	Clash of Civilizations - SourceWatch
		In his 1993 book "Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" (published by the Council on Foreign Relations), Samuel P. Huntington hypothesizes that "the fundamental source of conflict in this new world [of politics] will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic.
		Huntington says that the reason "why civilizations will clash will be increasingly important in the future, and the world will be shaped in large measure by the interactions among seven or eight major civilizations.
		At the macro-level, states from different civilizations compete for relative military and economic power, struggle over the control of international institutions and third parties, and competitively promote their particular political and religious values." [5]

		The thesis of the provocative and potentially important Clash of Civilizations is that the increasing threat of violence arising from renewed conflicts between countries and cultures that base their traditions on religious faith and dogma.

		Huntington argues that this map of civilizations will help us to understand current and future conflicts, which increasingly are "fault-line" conflicts in which states or peoples belonging to different civilizations clash.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Samuel Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order
		Unique among the racial, religious, and cultural civilizations that Huntington delineates and which we have added to, it is Islam alone which demands that church, economy, and state be governed by one eternal, unchanging, and inseparable entity, and/or philosophy, based on the word of God as revealed to Mohammed.
		First, by warning that the clash of civilizations that genuinely differ from one another will continue to be a central feature of world politics, he provides a much needed warning that the West must deal with Islam and Communist China as rivals, not merely as alternative types of societies.
		If those events force upon us the realization that civilizations do clash, that their different values produce much different ways of life, and that our way of life is preferable to others, then perhaps we can give a very special meaning to the victims' deaths.

		The difficulty with the clash of civilizations thesis begins with the presumption of the unique relevance of a singular classification.
		Indeed, the question "Do civilizations clash?" is founded on the presumption that humanity can be pre-eminently classified into distinct and discrete civilizations, and that the relations between different human beings can somehow be seen, without serious loss of understanding, in terms of relations between different civilizations.

		Samuel Huntington's nonsense 1996 hit, The Clash of Civilizations, holds as its basic premise that the Muslim world as a monolithic whole is historically, genetically incapable of peace and that it is intrinsically opposed to a monolithic "Western world."
