Competing Ideologies
Is there one human nature or do different cultures create their own versions of human nature? Are contemporary geopolitical conflicts to an extent manifestations of what has been called a "clash of civilizations?".
The Clash of Civilizations is a thesis that people's cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post–Cold War world. The American political scientist Samuel P. Huntington argued that future wars would be fought not between countries, but between cultures. It was proposed in a 1992 lecture at the American Enterprise Institute, which was then developed in a 1993 Foreign Affairs article titled "The Clash of Civilizations?", in response to his former student Francis Fukuyama's 1992 book, The End of History and the Last Man. Huntington later expanded his thesis in a 1996 book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.
Francis Fukuyama, Alexander Dugin and Ivan Krastev engage in a 90 minute conversation about democracy, liberalism, human nature and what is happening in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
