Abstract

This article revisits Samuel Huntington's work and theory of the clash of civilizations. This theory, widespread in the early 1990s, proposes that the cultural and religious identities present in civilizations would be the main cause of conflicts in the post-Cold War world. This theory challenges traditional views that explain the origins of global conflicts and power relations, which are present in political and economic issues, attributing importance to cultural and behavioral aspects. In his argument, Huntington brings us that the cultural differences between civilizations, especially regarding values, beliefs and traditions, will make conflicts between them inevitable. Such statements are verifiable today, with several conflicts over religious issues and land spaces. However, it is a controversial theory, since its idea advocates certain peoples and a prophecy of conflicts that never developed on reality.
