      Examining Samuel P. Huntington's 1993 article, the essay critiques his assertion that post-Cold War conflicts will arise from cultural clashes between civilizations, particularly between Western, Islamic, and Confucian societies. It argues that while Huntington effectively dismisses previous ideological and state-to-state tensions, his hypothesis oversimplifies complex international relations by framing them through a Cold War lens. The analysis highlights the limitations of viewing global conflicts solely through the prism of cultural differences, suggesting a need for more nuanced understanding.
