"Spurred by modernization, global politics is being reconfigured along cultural lines. Peoples and countries with similar cultures are coming together. Peoples and countries with different cultures are coming apart. Alignments defined by ideology and superpower relations are giving way to alignments defined by culture and civilization. Political boundaries are increasingly redrawn to coincide with cultural ones: ethnic, religious, and civilization. Cultural communities are replacing Gold War blocs, and the fault lines between civilizations are becoming the central lines of conflict in global politics. "
Samuel P. Huntington

The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order is one of the most important books to have emerged since the end of the Cold War."
Henry A. Kissinger
