The Clash of Civilizations? Islamic Totalitarianism Constitutes an Ideological Threat, as Marxism-Leninism did during the Cold War
Author(s)Streusand, Douglas
AbstractThough he had a long and influential career before and has modified his views since, Samuel Huntington remains irrevocably associated with the concept of the clash of civilizations. He employed it in a 1993 article in Foreign Affairs and a subsequent book to describe his vision of the future, a future in which conflicts between civilizations would dominate international affairs. Huntington’s views received widespread criticism at the time, but the events of September 11, 2001, created the appearance that his prophecy had come true. The appearance is deceiving, and the deception is a dangerous one.
