Coming to Terms with Cultural Conflicts

The Clash Within Civilisations
Add to cart
US$ 47.50 (+ tax)
Expanding upon, and engaging with, the influential theories of Francis Fukuyama in "The End of History" and Samuel Huntington in "The Clash of Civilisations", this book is a controversial contribution to these key contemporary debates. Dieter Senghaas examines some of the most significant political issues we face today: how do societies cope with pluralization?; can tolerance be a successful solution?; what is the role of "culture" in recent conflicts which have been described as culturally induced?; and will 21st-century world politics sink into cultural conflicts on a biblical scale? Dieter Senghaas explores these questions within the context of the main non-Western cultural areas of Chinese political philosophy, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism and goes on to reflect on the possibility of a constructive form of intercultural dialogue.
