Haynes traces the development of the clash of civilizations from the colonial period through the end of the Cold War and 9\/11 and analyzes its effects on society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSamuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” theory has been controversial among academics since it was introduced. Jeffrey Haynes demonstrates that the belief that there is a clash of civilizations is having an increasing impact on politics. It fuels populism as well as anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiments in the West. It has also spurred a “dialogue among civilizations” initiative by the United Nations. This book provides a new perspective and insight on how Huntington’s theory impacts politics. It shows that the theory’s greatest influence is not in its ability to explain politics but in how it captures the minds of some political actors and influences their behavior. -- Jonathan Fox, Yehuda Avner Professor of Religion and Politics, Bar Ilan University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Chapter One: Civilizations and International Relations: History and Development  Chapter Two: The “Clash of Civilizations” and the “New World Disorder”   Chapter Three: The United Nations and Intercivilizational Dialogue  Chapter Four: Right-Wing Populism, “Christian Civilizationism,” and Securitization of Islam   Chapter Five: The UN Alliance of Civilizations and Intercivilizational Dialogue   Chapter Six: The United States of America   Chapter Seven: Western Europe  Chapter Eight: Central Europe  Conclusion","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040827507031,"sku":"9781498578196","price":85.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498578196.jpg?v=1750947975","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-huntington-to-trump-9781498578196","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
