Describe the "clash of civilizations" argument. How was Huntington's argument criticized?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. According to Huntington, the world will be greatly impacted by the relationship between nine major civilizations in particular: African, Buddhist, Confucian, Hindu, Islamic, Japanese, Latin American, Eastern Orthodox, and Western. Huntington predicted that clashes among these civilizations would be the fundamental source of international political conflict and the most likely cause of the next global war.
2. Many analysts criticize Huntington's argument as loaded with gross generalizations that greatly oversimplify political reality.
