Description
In this text, the author argues that as people increasingly define themselves by ethnicity and religion, the West will find itself more and more at odds with non-western civilizations that reject its ideals of democracy, human rights, liberty, the rule of law, and the separation of the church and state. Picturing a future of accelerated conflict and increasingly “de-Westernized” international relations, this text further argues for greater understanding of non-western civilizations and offers strategies for maximizing Western influence.
