Samuel Huntington’s article ‘The Clash of Civilizations’ - Highly Influential.- Many flaws found in his theory.

Culture - Every changing and multi-faceted. - Multi-cultural societies. A shrinking world. - Homogeneity- Western cultural dominance

Jonathan Fox Research • Systemtic quantative analysis (1989-2002) proved

Huntington’s prediction false.• Most world conflicts are not due to a clash of

civilizations.• Two groups of people are more likely to conflict if they

are similar.

• Different civilizations can live in this world without conflict.

• Secular West V Islamic Extremists • Islamophobia • Global events e.g. 9/11 & Danish Cartoons (2005)
