Samuel P. Huntington, one of the worldâs most influential thinkers, argues in this seminal book that conflicts between different cultural âcivilizationsâ 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. Huntingtonâs provocative thesis that a struggle for supremacy among dominant culturesâlike the Japanese, Chinese, Hindu and Islamicâis inevitable is turning into reality. In the end, peopleâs decision to coexist or to make war in a complex, multipolar, multi-civilizational world will determine the course of humanity.
