An Extension of Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations

This article is an extension of Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" (1), it is important to briefly introduce Huntington's articles. Huntington claims that culture is a division between "Western Christianity" and "Orthodox Christianity and Islam". Huntington also believes that the Islamic world lacks deep basic political value in Western civilization, the rule of law, the separation of state and religion, the protection of individual rights and citizens' liberties, and the result of democracy ing.

Political scientist Samuel Huntington believes that the decisive characteristics of the 21st century will be "a clash of civilizations." According to Huntington, the conflict between civilizations will replace the conflict between national states characterized by the 19th and 20th centuries and ideology. Many theorists believe that the whole world is integrated into a single "world system", a process known as globalization. Various civilizations and societies around the world are economically, politically and culturally interdependent. According to David Wilkinson, civilization can be culturally heterogeneous like "Western civilization", or relatively homogeneous like Japanese civilization. The so - called "civilization clash" of Huntington may be explained by Wilkinson as a conflict in the cultural sphere of a single global civilization.

Civil conflict? Samuel Huntington, a professor at Harvard University, announced groundbreaking research on culture as a major factor in the future division of the world. In an article entitled "Clash of Civilizations?" Huntington later expanded to a complete book, stated later. The main cause of human conflict and culture is culture and the state plays the most powerful role in the world situation but major conflicts in world politics happen between civilizations different from the nation and the conflict of civilization is the politics of the world It will dominate. "(Huntington, 1993)
