The clash of civilizations and the remaking of world order
The central theme of this book is that culture and culture identities, which at the broadest level are civilization identities, are shapping the patterns of cohesion,disintegration,and conflict in the post-Cold War world. The five parts of this book elaborate corollaries to this main proposition. Part I: for the first time in history global politics is both multipolar and multicivilizational;modernization is distict from Westernization and is producing neither a universal civilization in any meaningful sense nor the Westernization of non-Western societies. Part II: The balance of power among civilizations is shifting: the west is declining in relative influence;Asian civilizations are expanding their economic,military,and political strenght;Islam is exploding demographicallly with destabilizing consequences for muslim countries and their neigbors. Part III: A civilization-based world order is emerging, societies sharing cultural affinities cooperate with each other. Part IV:The West's universalist pretentions increasingly bring it into conflict with other civilizations,most seriously with Islam and China. Part V: The survival of the West depends on Americans reaffirming their western identify and westerners accepting their civilization as unique not universal and uniting to renew and preserve it agains challenges from non western societies.
