(展开全部) 　　The thesis of this provocative and potentially important book is the increasing threat of violence arising from renewed conflicts between countries and cultures that base their traditions on religious faith and dogma. This argument moves past the notion of ethnicity to examine the growing influence of a handful of major cultures--Western, Eastern Orthodox, Latin American, Islamic, Japanese, Chinese, Hindu, and African--in current struggles across the globe. Samuel P. Huntington, a political scientist at Harvard University and foreign policy aide to President Clinton, argues that policymakers should be mindful of this development when they interfere in other nations' affairs. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
　　
　　
　　 Huntington here extends the provocative thesis he laid out in a recent (and influential) Foreign Affairs essay: we should view the world not as bipolar, or as a collection of states, but as a set of seven or eight cultural "civilizations"?one in the West, several outside it?fated to link and conflict in terms of that civilizational identity. Thus, in sweeping but dry style, he makes several vital points: modernization does not mean Westernization; economic progress has come with a revival of religion; post-Cold War politics emphasize ethnic nationalism over ideology; the lack of leading "core states" hampers the growth of Latin America and the world of Islam. Most controversial will be Huntington's tough-minded view of Islam. Not only does he point out that Muslim countries are involved in far more intergroup violence than others, he argues that the West should worry not about Islamic fundamentalism but about Islam itself, "a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power." While Huntington notes that the war in Bosnia hardened into an ethno-religious clash, he downplays the possibility that such splintering could have been avoided. Also, his fear of multiculturalism as a source of American weakness seems unconvincing and alarmist. Huntington directs the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard.

　　 This book attracted attention because of its thesis that the "clashes of civilizations are the greatest threat to world peace." However, Huntington's work is important here for his second chapter on the nature and study of civilizations (with its excellent bibliographic sources), and his last chapter on the future of the West and other "core" civilizations.

　　 The Huntington argument that the West should stop intervening in civilizational conflicts it doesn't understand makes a powerful claim that internationalists cannot easily ignore. The question is whether there remain certain human interests that all civilizations had better endorse for our common survival. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
　　
　　
　　 For those attentive to foreign affairs, durable political analyst Huntington is certain to excite debate, and not only for his concluding scenario for World War III, the post^-cold war version. That could happen if the U.S. mishandles an increasingly xenophobic and truculent China: remember, a Chinese officer during the latest Taiwan crisis reminded the U.S. that China can nuke Los Angeles. Chinese assertiveness, Huntington argues, arises out of its felt grievances against a relatively weakening West, a phenomenon of resentment and temptation existing wherever the West has contact with another civilization. After China, the gravest challenge to the West, Huntington maintains, is resurgent Islamic identity, and to those believing only violent radicals hate the West, the author asserts "fourteen hundred years of history demonstrate otherwise." So what to do? Atop Huntington's agenda is that the West should give up universalizing its values and rather ensure their survival within a stronger European-North American alliance to offset the emerging Sino-Islamic grouping. A set of sharp, controversial theses and a coherent message make this a critical current affairs book. Gilbert Taylor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
　　
　　
　　 The thrust of Huntington's argument rejects the notion of a world inevitably succumbing to Western values. To the contrary, he argues, the West's influence in the world is waning because of growing resistance to its values and the reassertion by non-Westerners of their own cultures.
　　 The book successfully shifts the discussion of the post-cold-war world from ideology, ethnicity, politics, and economics to culture--and especially to the religious basis of culture, a subject generally ignored in contemporary political science. Huntington is right to warn us against facile generalizations about the world becoming one; to point out the resilience of civilizations to foreign influences; and to underscore the ease with which religious values become secularized.
　　 Though he denies it, the political implication of Huntington's thesis is isolationism: the recommendation that the West in general, and the United States in particular, refrain from conflict with other civilizations as well as involvement in their internal quarrels. His advice for the Western powers is to draw closer together, maintain their strength, and, above all, recognize "that Western intervention in the affairs of other civilizations is probably the single most dangerous source of instability and potential global conflict in a multicivilizational world." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

新颖和独特的视角来看待世界政治
Triton

中国为什么会崛起? 我个人认为是我们的文化和民族素质. 当最高层决定放弃政治内斗,发展国家时,蕴藏的能力就喷薄而出. 我不是很同意作者对于世界的展望,和一些现实政治的分析.但是我认为他的视角和方法是值得借鉴的. 他对于中国的把握不是很准确,但观察还是细致和全面的. 他缺乏了解中国文化的内涵和本质,这是留给我...... (1回应)

胖丸子(不是在纠结中就是在纠结的路上)

热衷宏大叙事的学者，古今中外大同小异。亨廷顿这本书，如同众多宏大叙事的著作一样，大而无当，既不深入，又不准确，如果这样子的水平都能在国际政治中出风头，做明星，那些决定世界大事人类和平的政客们，都是一帮怎样的蠢货啊！难怪我们要生活在这样一个战乱不断的世界上。......
