Based on the author's seminal article in Foreign Affairs, Samuel P. Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Orderis 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 nations and ideologies as the driving force in global politics today and offers a brilliant analysis of the current climate and future possibilities of our world's volatile political culture.

"An intellectual tour de force: bold, imaginative, and provocative. A seminal work that will revolutionize our understanding of international affairs." —ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI

"This is what is so stunning about The Clash of Civilizations:It is not just aboutthe future, but may actually help to shape it." —WANG GUNGWU, THE NATIONAL INTEREST
