Based on the author's seminal article in Foreign Affairs, Samuel P. Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order is a provocative and prescient analysis of the state of world politics after the fall of communism. In this incisive work, the renowned political scientist explains how "civilizations" have replaced nations and ideologies as the driving force in global politics today and offers a brilliant analysis of the current climate and future possibilities of our world's volatile political culture.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This book attracted attention because of its thesis that the "clashes of civilizations are the greatest threat to world peace." However, Huntington's work is important here for his second chapter on the nature and study of civilizations (with its excellent bibliographic sources), and his last chapter on the future of the West and other "core" civilizations.

Good read, but can save time just reading original article by the author.

November 2, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Must read to understand how the world works now. A little too long-winded. The original article by the other in "Foreign Affairs" is also available on Amazon, is a more concise read and covers all the main points equally memorably to this book.

The Worthy Debate

May 4, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The Clash of Civilizations became a key book in the discussion of future American Foreign Policy for all the right reasons. Huntington's argument is well-constructed and his predictions proved very prescient. Huntington could have coordinated with a psychologist or socialogist to right a second book discussing identity theory to bolster his argument but his work stands on its own as work of political science. I found his discussion of the Bosnian War interesting, as the war happened while I was still a child. He predicted the current crisis in Ukraine and described Russia's strategy with remarkable clarity. In his work, Huntington hypothesizes that the relative distribution of power and source of identity after the Cold War will spread to the 9 centers of civilization he describes in his book. The resulting shift will make the next century one of "fault line wars" between the civilization.

Thought Provoking...

August 21, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Samuel P. Huntington's 1996 "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" was the bestselling book version of a controversial "Foreign Affairs" article, a big-picture look at the world which dared to imagine that a bi-polar competition between communism and democracy/capitalism was about to be replaced by a multi-polar world of competing civilizations.

Huntington's book was thought-provoking and controversial. It denied the "End of History" thesis popular at the time. It refused to conflate modernization with westernization or democracy. It predicted that "civilizations" would replace ideologies as a basis of national and regional identity and as a source of international conflict, an affront to those expecting the imminent demise of the nation state.

From the perspective of 2010, Huntington did about as well as most predictors of new and different international orders. His concept of civilizations as an international organizing principle was imprecise, and some of his examples haven't held up. The nature of the current multi-polar world is driven by a number of causes and effects, of which "civilization" may be only one. On the other, Huntington predicted the (relative) decline of the West, pointed out the hazards to the nation state of unassimilated immigration, and identified some fault lines of competition and conflict around China and the Islamic world.

"The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" is still worth a long look for students of international relations.

Will change (or confirm) your understanding of the world'd dynimics

August 17, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read it in the late early 2000. Probably the only political science book I have ever read. Blew my mind (it is hard to do, as I have been a voracious reader since the ago of 4). Written in 1994, it was jut as relevant in 2001, as it still is now - and I predict as it would be for many years to come. The original was given to me by a friend, and I just bought three more copies to give them to others.

This was written more than 10 years ago, and many of Mr. Huntington's predictions have already come true, especially in relation to China and Russia! Very insightful.
Not exactly "light reading" but a comprehensive perspective on history and current events couldn't be, could it?

When Civilizations Clash

June 15, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Samuel Huntington has written a very provocative and engaging book that argues largely that conflicts in the post Cold War world will be based upon fault lines that occur within major civilizations throughout the world including the West, Sino, Islamic, Orthodox, among others. Though the theory is very beautifully laid out and elaborated on, it suffers from several faults. If one examines the global conflicts throughout the last twenty years, the theory holds for the most part (US verses Iraq/Afghanistan West vs. Islamic), The conflict in Sri Lanka, etc. But the simple fact is that conflicts still occur within the same civilizations Russia-Georgia both belong to the Orthodox. A further fault is Huntington's own admitted inability to place Africa and Latin America within a civilization. Still despite my criticisms it is a very intriguing theory that should be required reading for anyone interested in global conflict.

Essential geopolitical reading

September 15, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is essential reading for those that need a full picture of our unfolding reality. The ideas in this book show the mindset of the elites following the supposed end of the Cold War. You can't be serious about geopolitics without having consumed this classic work.

seems very prescient, in 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had heard of this book and its thesis some years back. Upon reading it now, it seems extraordinarily prescient. Well worth reading and pondering, whether you are liberal or conservative.
