Huntington's Clash of civilization
I'll try to explain Huntington's book as simple as possible. It's interesting subject and it's impact define all of us, our world and our identity. In the post-Cold War world culture is both divisive and a unifying force. People separated by ideology or historical circumstance but diveded by civilization either came apart, as did The Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Bosnia, or are subjected to intense strain (Ukraine). Countries with cultural affinieties cooperate economically and politically. International organizations based on states with cultural commonallity, such as EU, are far more successful than those that attempt to trascend cultures. For forty-five years the Iron Curtian was the central dividing line in Europe. That line has moved several hunderd miles east. It is now the line separating the peoples of Western Christianty, on the one hand, from Muslim and Orthodox people on the other.
Do you belive in unicivilization? The citiziens of the world? Or you believe in clash and the end of Western culture, which would fall apart from the inside, during the migration. Becuase, I think, for example, Mexicans or Muslim, with generations living in France or USA, become more radical than Latin America/France. Why is that?
Is the most important question, as Huntington says: Who are we?
