Kampf der Kulturen

The American political scientist Huntington poses the question of global political developments in the 21st century in his book. Instead of a harmonious integration in an increasingly interconnected world, he sees new conflicts of global magnitude emerging: conflicts between cultures. He distinguishes the contemporary world into seven major civilizations: Chinese, Japanese, Hindu, Islamic, Western, Latin American, and African. The world politics of the 21st century will not be determined by ideological or economic disputes, but by the conflict between nations and ethnic groups of different cultural affiliations. According to Huntington's thesis, it will no longer be ideological or economic confrontations that shape future world politics, but conflicts between the major cultural spheres. Are the boundaries between cultures the frontlines of the future? Provocative, exciting, and hotly debated internationally - a must-read for anyone politically interested!.
