Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
This book attracted attention because of its thesis that the "clashes of civilizations are the greatest threat to world peace." However, Huntington's work is important here for his second chapter on the nature and study of civilizations (with its excellent bibliographic sources), and his last chapter on the future of the West and other "core" civilizations.

In late 1996 I had the pleasure of watching Palestenian intellectual Edward Said savagely rip into Huntington and his entire "clash of civilizations" thesis (first posited in a "Foreign Affairs" article). The criticism session was a highly entertaining exercise in scholarly colleague-bashing, because Said (rather blatantly) had the gloves off, and not only trashed Huntington's work but also articulated a scathing critique of the entire beltway, foreign affairs, Washington-insider academic elite (of which Huntington is an eminent member) for its American paternalism, alarmism and triumphalism. While Huntington's thesis is hardly of a triumphalist nature, of course, it is indeed alarmist, painting a world-scale portrait of Western Civilization in decline and under attack on all fronts. But this is not the main flaw of Huntington's detailed and meticulously researched work (in which, it must be admitted, there are few serious flaws). Instead, the biggest criticism that can be made of this book is the overly simplistic (almost childishly so) nature of the "Clash" hypothesis (which Said never tired of caricaturing in mocking tones). Huntington is basically saying that "different" people cannot get along, that they will usually prefer their own "kind", and will probably always be in conflict of one sort or another. Duh. One would like to think that such cynical neo-realism would be confined to computer games such as "civilization" (an immensely entertaining means of wasting an entire evening, by the way) but apparently not. Of course, Huntington's argument is more nuanced and deep than that unjust reduction makes it out to be, but that is, I'm afraid to say, the main thrust of his book. Unfortunately, when seeing Said speak I hadn't yet read Huntington's book, so of course I laughed at the ridiculousness of the Clash thesis as portrayed by Said. Now I have read the book, however, and other than limited alarmism and over-simplification, I can safely say that Huntington's work is an impressively-researched piece of social scientific brilliance. As Huntington himself admits in his introduction, the Clash is of course an over-simplified conceptual model, but then, what conceptual models aren't over-simplified to some degree? Marxism, anyone? Huntington's thesis is parsimonious and intensely provocative, and that is exactly what the field of international relations needs at this time of widespread theoretical poverty.

Mr. Huntington's categorization of the various religions and cultures of the world is overly simplistic and historically inaccurate. For example, his reference to the "Islamic Civilization" assumes a unity and cohesion among Islamic nations that simply does not exist. The various divisions that exist within Islam, and more importantly, the divisions that exist among Arab nations undermines Mr. Huntington's premise of a unified Islamic front ready to confront the West.

Samuel Huntington did an excellent job explaining how many cultures diferent from each other in terms of ethnicity, religion and attitudes toward other cultures. He details this clash for the last 1500 years. He is right that Asia can never be assimilated to Western Culture as they don't want to be. Western Culture and Asian culture are too different to be reconciled. But what is Western Culture? Huntington says that European Countries which are Protestant and/or Catholic are the only Western countries along with Euro-descent countries like Canda, USA, Australia, New Zealand. He says that Orthodox Christian countries are not Western, even if they want to be. Huntington has 3 flaws in this book. He uses the word "civilation" way too many times, that the book has maximum readability. He second flaw was referring to Germany as a Catholic Country. Germany is almost evenly split with Protestants and Catholics, so it is neither a Protestant or Catholic country. His third flaw was a contradictory one. he says that if Latin America converst to Protestantism than they coin join Western Culture. But a majority of Latin Americans are Indians and Mestizos (half Indian, half Spanish), so he contradicts his belief that only Europeans can be Western. I would recommend thsi book, but be prepared for maximum readability.
