The classic study of post-Cold War international relations, more
relevant than ever in the post-9/11 world, with a new foreword by
Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Since its initial publication, "The Clash of Civilizations and the
Remaking of World Order "has become a classic work of international
relations and one of the most influential books ever written about
foreign affairs. An insightful and powerful analysis of the forces
driving global politics, it is as indispensable to our
understanding of American foreign policy today as the day it was
published. As former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski
says in his new foreword to the book, it "has earned a place on the
shelf of only about a dozen or so truly enduring works that provide
the quintessential insights necessary for a broad understanding of
world affairs in our time."
Samuel Huntington explains how clashes between civilizations are
the greatest threat to world peace but also how an international
order based on civilizations is the best safeguard against war.
Events since the publication of the book have proved the wisdom of
that analysis. The 9/11 attacks and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
have demonstrated the threat of civilizations but have also shown
how vital international cross-civilization cooperation is to
restoring peace. As ideological distinctions among nations have
been replaced by cultural differences, world politics has been
reconfigured. Across the globe, new conflicts--and new
cooperation--have replaced the old order of the Cold War era.
"The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order
"explains how the population explosion in Muslim countries and the
economic rise of East Asia are changing global politics. These
developments challenge Western dominance, promote opposition to
supposedly "universal" Western ideals, and intensify
intercivilization conflict over such issues as nuclear
proliferation, immigration, human rights, and democracy. The Muslim
population surge has led to many small wars throughout Eurasia, and
the rise of China could lead to a global war of civilizations.
Huntington offers a strategy for the West to preserve its unique
culture and emphasizes the need for people everywhere to learn to
coexist in a complex, multipolar, muliticivilizational world.
