I. Introduction
As being stated by Samuel P. Huntington, the Clash of Civilization is a hypothesis in which the primary sources of conflicts in the post-cold war era are more dominant to the people’s cultural and religious identities. Civilization has three attributes which are the objective elements – language, history religion, customs, and institution; the subjective elements – variable levels of self-identification; and civilization itself is dynamic – they rise and fall, divide and merge. Dialogue between civilizations are also needed and will give significant impacts for not only both civilizations but also for the world. This paper would like to discuss and analyze two cases about the possibility of Post-American World Order towards the potential Dialogue between Civilizations or the Clash of Civilizations theory; and the contribution of Dialogue between Civilizations towards the management of negative impact in this globalization era.
II. The Possibility of a Post-American World Order Will Strengthen the Potential for Dialogue Between Civilizations or Increase the Relevancy with The Clash of Civilizations Hypothesis
The Post-American World Order, a term created by Fareed Zakaria, an editor of Newsweek International and a writer on international affairs, as being stated on his book ‘The Post-American World’, explains that it is not the decline of the U.S. but it is about the great transformation which taking place around the world and the rise of other countries.
Armesto illustrates this with a range of examples, including the rise and fall of empires, the impact of technological innovations, and the influence of cultural exchange. The book also emphasizes the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of civilizations. Armesto argues that no civilization exists in isolation and that the history of human societies is characterized by a complex web of interactions and exchanges. This is particularly relevant in today's globalized world, where the actions of one civilization can have far-reaching consequences for others.
While claiming to bring civilization to the untamed wilds , conflict in the Americas didn’t end as the Europeans created their empires. With new and growing territories, came new and growing tensions between neighboring powers, and these tensions often ignited into international conflicts. In these conflicts the
Ish’s views of civilization have changed heavily from the plague to his death; he has now given up on the tribe’s continuation and lost hope in what can still be done. Thoughts of members of the tribe, either current or foregoing, previously brought back robust memories, while closer to the culmination of the Tribe his memories faded and became dismissive. He views civilization as unworthy now, since he knows he is going to die soon and there is nothing to keep him abiding. Closer to the start of his book, “Suddenly he felt all civilization depended not only upon men but also upon these other things which had marched with him like kinsmen and friends and companions.” (120)
Few observers expected the end of the Cold War to facilitate the continuation and expansion of a pre-existing international system. Perhaps this explains, in part, why Hobsbawm (1994) describes the international landscape of the 1990s as 'unclear ' and akin to 'global
In the book, My Side of the Mountain, there are many conflicts in it. They include a boy who lives in the woods and survives on his own. One of the conflicts is about an old lady and strawberries. This conflict happens when Sam is making his bed. This conflict makes me think about how Sam handled the conflict, how I would have handled it, and how God would have handled it.
America with open arms has accepted the role of the world’s police. It could be argued that it created the role for itself. That is the premise of Andrew Bacevich’s Washington Rules. Bacevich discusses over sixty years of American Foreign Policy, from Truman to now, to explain the premise of the “Washington Rules.” The Washington Rules is about American militarist belief that Americans must “lead, save, liberate, and ultimately transform the world”, this could only be accomplished by an idea described by Bacevich as “the sacred trinity”.
An individual 's responsibility towards the disenfranchised is to stop evil in the world. In the story ‘’ The Interlopers’’ the hatred between the two families causes conflict in the story, “The possibility of evil” Mrs Strangeworth was spreading rumours about people in the community by sending letters around and the boy that finds Miss Strangeworth 's letters and cuts up her rose garden and tells Miss Strangeworth that the community knows it 's her that 's sending the letters, In the short story ‘’The Doll 's House’’ the Kelveys were not allowed to be around the little girls anymore and the town shunned them. In these stories the main characters look like good people that are doing evil things. And in ‘’The Night’’ the selection In the story ‘’The Interlopers’’ the conflict is the hatred between the two families. Throughout the story the hatred brings the them together by them becoming friends because that meant they had a chance to live because their men would help both of them out from under the tree instead of ones men getting his leader out and killing the other.
The first chapters of Guy Zuv’s U.S. Foreign Policy and Hook & Spaniers American Foreign Policy Since World War II talk about the ideology behind the way the United States engages in it’s foreign policy. These chapters show the basis of our thinking when it comes to interactions with different countries either through diplomacy or military actions. They also show the history of our foreign policy and the influencing environment it was founded in. Reflecting on these chapters gives insight into why the U.S. has this unusual behavior when dealing with foreign policy as well as to why we have such a problematic relationship with many countries around the world. One of the major observations we see in our foreign policy is how it’s fluctuates
Bush administration, and part 1 of this book spans that period. Parts 2 through 4 cover the Obama years. That wider scope, subsuming two quite different administrations, only serves to under-score the profound impact of philosophic ideas in foreign policy, regardless of who sits in the Oval Office. You will also learn that victory is achievable—if we take certain necessary steps (a detailed account can be found in Winning the Unwinnable War). Part 5 sketches out how an Objectivist approach to foreign policy stands apart in today’s intellectual landscape.
The differences in customs, religion, and basic moral and human ideology prevented the Native American and European cultures from sharing the common bond of human fellowship to serve as the basis and foundation for the growth and betterment of human civilization. Unfortunately, this is a trait seen by the human species that have led to the collective downfall of civilizations throughout time, and will repeat itself until the human perspective of its remarkably fortunate place in the universe is dramatically
The first great-war shattered the human mind so profound that out of its aftermaths’ emerged a fresh discipline (in 1919 at the University of Whales known to us as International Relations) proposed to prevent war. “It was deemed by the scholars that the study of International Politics shall find the root cause of the worlds political problems and put forward solutions to help politicians solve them” (Baylis 2014:03). International Relations happened to play the role of a ‘correcting-mechanism’ restoring the world order of peace and amity by efforting at its best to maintain the worlds’ status quo. However with the emergence of a second world war much more massive that the first put at stake all the values of that young discipline of IR. The
It is in observing how people deal with and react to conflicts that we see clear differences between cultures. Some cultures view conflict as a positive thing, while others view it as something to be avoided. In the United States, conflict is not usually desirable; nonetheless, conventional wisdom in this country encourages individuals to deal directly with conflicts when they do arise. In fact, face-to-face encounters are usually suggested as the way to work through whatever problems exist. By contrast, in many Asian countries, open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning.
Our academic disciplines, journals, movies, and our whole cultural system is highly affected by the inevitability of the conflict between 'Islam ' and 'West ' (Adib-Moghaddam, 2011). This " clash regime" is a cultural artifact which is positioned in different strata of society because it is made up by a system of interdependent discourses that disperse into society and form a powerful 'clash mentality (Adib-Moghadam, 2011, p.5). This clash regime has constituted a main part of today 's national and international political culture (Adiv-Moghaddam, 2011, p.5). Therefore, European culture gained its own strength and identity by setting itself off against the Orient (Said, 1978). According to Macfie (2002), one of the convictions that is widely held in orientalism is the belief that Islam unlike other religions, is inherently violent its followers believe in the doctrine of Holy War or Jihad.
national politics Adam Watson’s Evolution of International Society gave a new dimension in the understanding of international relations (IR). He deeply studied comparatively the formation of international society and political community of the past which has evolved into the modern world system in his ‘Evolution of International Society’. Unlike Kenneth Waltz views of anarchy as the only system in IR, Watson says there are two systems viz. anarchy and hierarchy. In between these systems is the hegemony which defines the contemporary IR.
The world in which Carr knew and wrote this book about may have change greatly, however I think one can say the world is once again experiencing s transitional moment where answers no longer suffice, and affirming this books continued relevance. To conclude, the book shows us how Carr was convinced the realities of Global Power and not Utopians normative morality would shape a new international order. Carr’s work can be understood as a critique of Liberalism internationalism or what he referred to as
