The Clash of Civilisations And the Making of the New Order - Samuel P. Huntington

Samuel P. Huntington, one of the world's most influential thinkers, argues in this seminal book that conflicts between different cultural 'civilizations' are the greatest threat to world peace. He suggests that the world is comprised of not two opposite but eight diverse groups, based on religion, and how international cooperation between them is the best safeguard against war. Global events in the twenty-first century have proved his foresight and sagacity. Huntington's provocative thesis that a struggle for supremacy among dominant cultureslike the Japanese, Chinese, Hindu and Islamicis inevitable is turning into reality.
