In 1993, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington changed the face of international relations when he published "The Clash of
Civilizations?" in "'Foreign Affairs" magazine. Huntington's controversial
article later evolved into a book in 1996, entitled "The Clash of
Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order." The provocative thesis of the article was that the fundamental source of conflict in the post-Cold War world would be cultural clashes, not ideological disagreements or economic competitions. This paper is a critical argument against Huntington's theory. The paper argues that his labels of civilizations are weak and that there is, in fact, no Sino-Islamic alliance, a main part of his "clash of civilizations" theory.
