The document discusses Samuel Huntington's theory that future global conflicts will arise from clashes between civilizations defined by religion and culture, such as Western, Confucian, Japanese, Islamic, Hindu, Slavic-Orthodox, Latin American and possibly African civilizations. Huntington argues that the age of ideology is ending and is being replaced by a world of culture-based civilizational conflict, and gives examples of tensions that have arisen between Western and Confucian or Western and Islamic civilizations.
