Introduction The view of geopolitics and conflicts evolves with time, as people uncover more information about historical events. However, people often come to conclusions based on data that they were able to collect, which implies that a single viewpoint cannot encompass all the world’s nuances. This statement can be applied to the book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, written by Samuel P. Huntington, an American academic and political adviser. In his book, which was published as an extension of his earlier essay, “The Clash of Civilizations,” the scholar introduces a central thesis that all future conflicts in the world will be guided not by countries’ economic or political reasons but by their cultural differences. 1 While Huntington attempts to divide the world into several civilizations and argue that all of them are going to fight to increase their global influence, his focus on opposing “Islamic” and “Sinic” cultures as those encroaching on the place of the “Western” civilization reveals a biased and aggressive outlook. Summary Huntington separates his book into five major parts, in which he considers the past, present, and future of global geopolitics. First, the author discusses the idea of civilization and how it is connected to people’s cultural identity. Moreover, he traces the history of major civilizations, which he later separates on the map, including the center of his research – the Western civilization. Notably, he addresses why the United States is a part of the Western civilization along with European countries, stating that “while nineteenth-century America defined itself as different from and opposed to Europe, twentieth-century America has defined itself as a part of and, indeed, the leader of a broader entity, the West, that includes Europe.” 2 The belief that the United States, much of Europe, as well as Australia, and New Zealand all belong to one civilization is a core concept of the book. In the same chapter, Huntington presents his interpretation of how civilizations were formed and how their place in global politics has changed with such major events as the two World Wars, the Cold War, and its end. The basic description of the civilizations left after 1990 includes the following groups: Western, Latin American, African, Islamic, Sinic, Hindu, Orthodox, Buddhist, and Japanese. 3 In the following chapters, Huntington explains how some of these civilizations rose to prominence, arguing that Western civilization is fading. Furthermore, he ponders which of them will clash in the future and what the United States must do as a leader of its civilization to strengthen the West. In particular, Huntington concludes that America has to “wield skillfully its economic resources as carrots and sticks in dealing with other societies … and to promote and exploit differences among non-Western nations.” 4 Finally, the author suggests that most future conflicts will happen between civilizations rather than inside them due to the vast differences in beliefs and cultural norms. Analysis There are several strong ideas in the book that are interesting for the audience to interpret. However, there are also many criticisms on how Huntington perce
