Based on the author's seminal article
in Foreign Affairs, Samuel P. Huntington's The Clash of Civilization
and the Remaking of World Order is a provocative and prescient analysis of
the state of world politics after the fall of communism. In this incisive work,
the renowned political scientist explains how "civilizations" have
replaced nation and ideologies as the driving force in volatile political
culture.
