Abstract
This paper discusses the article ?The Clash of Civilizations? by Samuel Huntington based on the idea of cultures and to which civilization a particular culture belongs. This paper looks at civilization itself as the cause of conflicts because of differing values. The author says that the clash of civilizations will dominate global conflict, pitting Non-Western states against Western culture.
From the Paper
"A civilization is the highest level to which one can group people (24). During the cold war, civilizations were classified as being in the first, second or third worlds. Now, each state is different in terms of its culture and to which civilization it belongs (23). Huntington says, ?a civilization is a cultural entity. Villages, regions, ethnic groups, nationalities, religious groups, all have distinct cultures at different levels of cultural heterogeneity? (23-24). Civilizations also have sub civilizations."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in "The Clash of Civilizations and the Making of the World Order", Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington believes that a clash of civilizations may arise in the not too far distant future because of the instability of the present international system, which he believes features a number of civilizations with incompatible political, social, cultural and religious values. The author points out that Huntington is especially critical of Islam, which he views as a civilization convinced of its cultural superiority yet obsessed with the inferiority of their power. The paper argues that, despite Edward Said's charges in his book "Orientalism", neither Huntington nor the theories in his book is orientalist. The author underscores argues that ill-conceived books, such as Said's , perpetuate myths about Zionism and Western misdeeds.
From the Paper
"In contrast to Huntington, who is very critical of Islam, Said is very critical of Zionism. Consequently, it is not surprising that he would consider Huntington an Orientalist. For example, in terms of Zionism and related perceived ideologies, Said insists upon blaming the West or Zionists for the poor image of Arab societies among so many people outside of the Middle East. He seems particularly intent upon attacking Jewish scholars and media organizations, and objects to any mention in the West of Arab treatment of groups such as the Kurds, the Christians, the Bahais, or Arab women who undergo genital mutilation in the name of "modesty"."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the book "Clash of Civilizations" by Samuel Huntington. The paper reports that Huntington's work analyzes the differences between different cultures and civilizations of the world. The paper goes on to say that Huntington's piece is a historical overview of major conflicts between different civilizations and not an explanatory, research-based theory.
From the Paper
"Another debatable distinction is made between Russia and the West, which in the view of Jeane Kirkpatrick is an unnecessary and wrong division. The distinction made between Slavic-Orthodox countries on the one hand, and Western countries, including European countries, on the other, is no longer available after the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall and of the Soviet Union. Russia and other former nations members of the USSR are no longer held together by distinct characteristics except religion. Almost all these Slavic-Orthodox countries have evolved towards the West and can be considered in many aspects as being western countries. Taking into account the dimension of the European Union, many of the countries identified by Huntington, such as Poland, have made serious steps towards the west and share common values as the Western culture."

Abstract
This paper discusses how in "The Clash of Civilizations and the Making of the World Order", Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington argues that the modern world should be viewed not as bipolar, or as a collection of nation-states, but as a set of seven or eight cultural civilizations. The paper further discusses how, according to Huntington, these cultural entities are distinct and large enough to be called civilizations, and are fated to interact in terms of their respective civilizational identities, which may lead to a clash of civilizations.

Abstract
In 1993, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington changed the face of international relations when he published ?The Clash of Civilizations?? in "'Foreign Affairs" magazine. Huntington?s controversial article later evolved into a book in 1996, entitled ?The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.? The provocative thesis of the article was that the fundamental source of conflict in the post-Cold War world would be cultural clashes, not ideological disagreements or economic competitions. This paper is a critical argument against Huntington's theory. The paper argues that his labels of civilizations are weak and that there is, in fact, no Sino-Islamic alliance, a main part of his "clash of civilizations" theory.
From the Paper
"Clearly the history of Russia is one that looks westward culturally and politically. The Russian Orthodox Church is closer to the Catholic Church than the Catholics are to the American Evangelicals. The cultural expressions of Russia, the literature and music, are viewed as comparison points for western culture (westerners put Tolstoy and Chekhov in their frame of cultural reference, but not Tao Qian or Basho) Even Leninism, the defining ideology of the Russian 20th Century, has its roots in two Germans. Russia became, in the Cold War, a part of a newfound ?east/west? delineation that was utilized primarily because it made geographical sense in Europe."

Abstract
This paper discusses the theories presented in Samuel Huntington's thesis, "The Clash of Civilizations."

The paper discusses his theories in relation to current events in order to explain why it is more popular today, than when it was written in 1993.
From the Paper
"These clashes are now new; too put them into perspective Huntington notes that the conflict between Western civilization and the Islamic civilizations has been going on for 1,300 years. That is important for today's generation of scholars and students to know, because many students are only aware of names like bin Laden and groups like al Qaeda and Hezbollah. Indeed, after WWII, when the colonial empires of the West faded, Arab nationalism emerged, followed by Islamic fundamentalism, he asserts. He was correct when he wrote that "centuries-old" military confrontations between the West and Islam are "unlikely to decline.""

Abstract
This paper reviews 'The Clash of Civilizations' by Samuel Huntington. According to the paper, this book was written five years prior to 9/11 but nobody paid much attention. The paper discusses how Huntington describes how wherever one looks along the perimeter of Islam, Muslims have problems living peaceably with their neighbors.
Introduction to 'The Clash of Civilizations'
The Implications for the Future
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In fact, the "new war," as the executive branch of the U.S. government called 9/11, "is...not so new," Huntington explains in his Newsweek piece. "It is a continuation and escalation of previous patterns of violence involving Muslims."
Meanwhile, an article by Husain Haqqani - "The American Mongols" - discusses Arab nationalism in the context of the Arab history juxtaposed and intermingled with the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March, 2003. His May, 2003 article in Foreign Policy magazine explains that the last time "infidels conquered the City of Peace (Baghdad) was in 1258, when the Mongol horde" - the warriors of Genghis Khan's grandson Hulegu - defeated the "Arab Abbasid caliphate that had ruled for more than five centuries."

Abstract
Analytical essay which discusses and argues against the argument, by Samuel Huntington in "Clash of Civilizations", that a root cause of the conflicts between nations is differences in religious convictions. The essay also attempts to present the reasons why "Clash of Civilizations" received such severe rebuke by highlighting the loopholes in the author?s reasoning.
From the Paper
"The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order is the masterpiece by Samuel Huntington which is based on the author?s view that the clash of distinct cultures and civilizations world over is the potential root cause of the reinvigorated conflicts between nations differing in religious convictions. Huntington considers this clash of religious faith to be the bane of the global peace thereby imposing augmented threat of tumult. The same is the author?s thesis, which raises thought provoking questions as well as arguments the role of the world superpowers and challenges the foreign policy makers of particularly the West (Huntington)."

Abstract
This paper examines Samuel P. Huntington?s clash of civilizations thesis in relation to the recent conflict in Kosovo. The paper concludes that all of the major players in the recent conflict in Kosovo performed as predicted by Huntington?s thesis. The author discusses how the primary combatants, Serbs and Kosovars represent a fault line conflict between two civilizations, and both drew in support from kin-countries and how Russia came to the defense of Serbia, although only diplomatically as the situation permitted.
From the Paper
"Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has become one of the premier institutions of the Western civilization. The recent entrance of Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic into the alliance had little-to-no strategic or military importance, but symbolized the re-joining of these states with the West. NATO?s main role is changing from that of a military alliance to a club of Western market democracies. Countries like Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and the Baltics seek membership to this club because they want to be recognized as a part of the West. NATO has become the dominant symbol of Western power, and thus exclusively the West carried out the air war over Kosovo."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes Samuel P. Huntington's thesis in "The Clash of Civilizations," that civilizations will clash. The paper reviews why those civilizations will fight, with particular emphasis on the conflicts between the West (the United States principal among the Western nations) and Muslims (Islam). The paper relates that pivotal differences that lead to clashes are based on history, language, culture, tradition, and "most important," religion. Huntington gives six solid, fundamental reasons as to why future clashes will more likely be between cultures and not between nation-states per se. The paper looks at America's war on terror today and contends that the strategies need to be revised, because the Islamic militants show no signs of letting up.
Outline:
Introduction
Review of Huntington's Presentation
Historic Reasons for Islamic Militancy Toward the US
Clash of Civilizations/Cultures Within the US
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In his 1993 paper, "The Clash of Civilizations," Samuel P. Huntington writes that the "fundamental" future conflicts between forces in the world will not be over "ideological" or "economic" issues, as they were in the past. The conflicts will be "cultural," he writes, and the clashes he envisioned from his vantage point thirteen years ago in 1993 would "dominate global politics." In the past, major conflicts were in the main between kinds, emperors, absolute monarchs and constitutional monarchs; the goals in these wars were to conquer territory and establish colonies."

Abstract
This paper explores the underlying motives for ?Operation Iraqi Freedom? and questions whether it is about the liberation of people from the whims of a madman or simply a clash of civilizations. It examines the underlying premise behind the current (2003) war and analyzes Saddam Hussein as a rising global threat and his contribution to terrorism. The paper also explores the the cultural clashes between Western and Arabic civilization and the role that oil plays in the current dispute. Finally, the paper uses research based on Samuel P. Huntington's article "The Clash of Civilizations", (1993).
From the Paper
"The current war is by no means new. It has simply extended west. Iraq geographically encompasses where civilizations first began. It is in this area that ruthless tribes struggle for power against nature, power against death, and power against man. It is in this area that man birthed religion, who begat politics. As history created itself, man forged tribes creating distinct lines. These lines Huntington term the fault lines. They can be drawn back to the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires. Historically the nations to the north and west have always been more prosperous. They together they share feudalism to the reformation to the industrial revolution. The people of the south and east experienced history differently. They were less better off economically and politically. They shared ruthless barbarians, constant warfare and genocide. (Huntington 1993)"
