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 As ideological distinctions among nations have been replaced by cultural differences, world politics has been reconfigured.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.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The thesis of this provocative and potentially important book is the increasing threat of violence arising from renewed conflicts between countries and cultures that base their traditions on religious faith and dogma. This argument moves past the notion of ethnicity to examine the growing influence of a handful of major cultures--Western, Eastern Orthodox, Latin American, Islamic, Japanese, Chinese, Hindu, and African--in current struggles across the globe. Samuel P. Huntington, a political scientist at Harvard University and foreign policy aide to President Clinton, argues that policymakers should be mindful of this development when they interfere in other nations' affairs. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly

Huntington here extends the provocative thesis he laid out in a recent (and influential) Foreign Affairs essay: we should view the world not as bipolar, or as a collection of states, but as a set of seven or eight cultural "civilizations"?one in the West, several outside it?fated to link and conflict in terms of that civilizational identity. Thus, in sweeping but dry style, he makes several vital points: modernization does not mean Westernization; economic progress has come with a revival of religion; post-Cold War politics emphasize ethnic nationalism over ideology; the lack of leading "core states" hampers the growth of Latin America and the world of Islam. Most controversial will be Huntington's tough-minded view of Islam. Not only does he point out that Muslim countries are involved in far more intergroup violence than others, he argues that the West should worry not about Islamic fundamentalism but about Islam itself, "a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power." While Huntington notes that the war in Bosnia hardened into an ethno-religious clash, he downplays the possibility that such splintering could have been avoided. Also, his fear of multiculturalism as a source of American weakness seems unconvincing and alarmist. Huntington directs the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard.

It may be useful to extrapolate to future events as well

ByShirley T Fangon March 20, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Cogent, incisive analysis of the post Cold War power structure among world civilizations. Huntington helps me understand current events, even when the book was written 20 years earlier. It may be useful to extrapolate to future events as well. Highly entertaining, and cerebral read.

Indispensible. Prescient. A "must read" book.

ByJ. R. Batchelderon April 17, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Samuel Huntington was a pure genius who was also a very productive academic and writer. If you have any interest in global affairs you should read this book and then follow up with "World Order" by Henry Kissinger.

Terrifyingly prescient

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The Clash of Civilizations is somewhat dated but still predictive of the future of the world we live in. It is a must read for anyone wanting to go deeper into what is happening in our society and the world st large than simple sound bites from our political and media machines.

The Clash of Civilizations; the politically correct way to state who our enemies are.

ByChuck Mon February 25, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great book on foreign affairs, well written and very applicable to the current challenges the USA faces around the globe. Samuel Huntington wrote this book in the mid 1990's and from that point was able to predict accurately 90 % of the conflicts, who was involved and why, that we read in the paper and watch on the news today.
I suggest this book for anyone who wants to have a better understanding of the challenges in the early 21st century and how we can adjust or/and accept the outcomes of the world issues.
3/1/15
This is an addition of thought to this book recommendation, I want to be more positive on the value of this book, for the future may depend on more people being aware of Samuels Huntington's thought.
It does point out who are our enemies, in the sense that their culture is threatened by the Western ( US is major part of the Western culture ) idealism of every culture or civilizations should be like us, and add that if we protect our cultural identity and accept that other cultures can exist with their identity, the world could be a more peaceful world, by the elimination of war from the misunderstanding of other civilizations .

ByJczarfillon April 11, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Prof. Huntington's thesis is perhaps the best explanation for what has been happening in the geopolitical world since the beginning of this Century. An every-increasing clash between the "Civilization" of Western Europe and America, on the one hand, and the "civilization" of the Islamic Middle Eastern World. Actually, this is merely the "reawakening" of a "clash of these two "Civilizations" that has been recurring in intensity ever since Mohammed appeared in the 7th Century. The frightening aspect is that the present "technologies" of war have developed to the point where an apocalyptic war that may result in the devastation of both of the warring societies and of much of mankind-- analogous to some Biblical Wars (cf., Deuteronomy) or to some of the Lord's demonstrations of disgust with mankind (Egyptian plagues, Sodom and Gomorrah)-- is possible if not likely some day. Also see his final article/book on the subject ---Who Are We? Challenges to America's National Identity (2004).
