Samuel Huntington explains how clashes between civilizations are the greatest threat to world peace but also how an international order based on civilizations is the best safeguard against war. Events since the publication of the book have proved the wisdom of that analysis.

As ideological distinctions among nations have been replaced by Once free download pdf cultural differences, world politics has been reconfigured. Across the globe, new conflicts and new cooperation have replaced the old order of the Cold War era.
