Abstract

The end of the Cold War marked a turning point in international politics and in the way in which political scientists defined world conflicts. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States became the sole hegemonic power. Academics rushed to demarcate future sources of conflict and fault lines that would drive global interactions. Like other political scholars, Samuel P. Huntington attempts to understand and explain such sources of political and cultural conflict in post-Cold War times in his book The clash of civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. According to Huntington world politics is entering a phase, in which "The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of international conflict will be cultural" (Huntington 1993). civilizations, essentially cultural groupings distinguished by ancestry, religion, history, values, customs, language and institutions, will determine levels of collaboration and contradiction between nation states.
