Huntington's thesis about the clash of civilizations and of the need for particular civilizational collaborations to counter the Chinese (Sinic) and the Islamic civlizational threats are fraught with contradictions and mired in mischief.

The world at the end of the 20th Century has seen two historic events. One was the rise of the freedom struggles that led to the end of the colonial empire; and the other was a terrible human catastrophe, rapes, and genocide of million(s) people - Example: Bangladesh, Kashmir, Rwanda. If the one was achieved through the mobilization of the majority driven towards freedom and democracies, the other was fuelled by pressures to comply with an externally defined agenda - of either Church (or Mullah) or Marxists - for social development.
