The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order is a non-fiction political science book by Samuel P. Huntington. Across the globe, new conflicts and new cooperation have replaced the old order of the Cold War era. The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order explains how the population explosion in Muslim countries and the economic rise of East Asia are changing global politics. Huntington believed that ideology had ended, the world had reverted to a normal state of affairs characterized by the cultural conflict. The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order is an expansion of the 1993 Foreign Affairs article written by Samuel Huntington that hypothesized a new post-Cold War world order. Prior to the end of the Cold War, societies were divided by ideological differences, such as the struggle between democracy and communism. Huntington's main thesis argues, "The most important distinctions among peoples are no longer ideological, political, or economic. They are cultural". New patterns of conflict will occur along the boundaries of different cultures and patterns of cohesion will be found within the cultural boundaries. Huntington develops a new "Civilization paradigm" to create a new understanding of the post-Cold War order, and to fill the gaps of the already existing paradigms.
