The clash is going to be caused by
the culture, not by politics, economy
or ideologies.
The West imposes the economical
policies with things appropriate for
other civilizations, and also has
influence in the politics.
There are obstacles for civilizations
to join the West's culture. It varies.
Latin and east Europe are least than
Orthodox and Muslims countries.
Civilizados which had been an important part of a war
have recruited other countries as their allies. This
caused that civilizations mixed their culture with others.
The fault lines between civilizations are
replacing the political and ideological
boundaries as the flash point for crisis and
bloodshed.
At first, countries were classified by
political or economical systems, but is
more important by culture and
civilization.
The first conflicts were ideological,
economical and political. described as
"Western civil wars".
The world will be shaped in interactions
between 8 civilizations, Western, Confucian,
Japanese, Islamic, Hindu, Slavic-Orthodox,
Latin America and African.
The conflicts of the future will occur along
the cultural fault lines separating
civilizations.
For the relevant future, there will
be no universal civilization, but
instead a world of different ones,
each of which will learn to coexist
with the others.
The West of the world is in an
extraordinary peak of power than the
other civilizations. Military conflict is
unthinkable, there is not economic
challenge, only japan. Decisions in UN
are reflects of West interests.
Some countries have a fair degree of cultural homogeneity but are
divided over wether the society belongs to one civilization to another.
This are called torn nations.
Civilization identity will be
increasingly important in the
future.
