Does the globalization lead to "the clash of civilizations"?
Predrag Režan
Abstract
Samuel P. Huntington in his book "The clash of civilizations and the remaking of world order" divides the world from the late 20th century into nine civilizations. The author, attaching to the civilization its well – established, generally accepted aspects, considers culture, i.e. religion, one of its very important aspects. Therefore, his cataclysmic prognosis has its foundation in historical developments. As globalization processes include the interaction of named factors, and question which, as a result come to a human, strike hisown very essence, it is crucial to develop and cherish the moral sense how civilizations could peacefully co-exist. A human, although he is ‛thrown’ to inter-civilization cross-roads, is definitely the only one who can take the corrective role in globalization process.
