How might one evaluate Samuel Huntington’s "Clash of Civilizations" thesis through the lens of economic philosophy and theory?
Body:Â In an international relations seminar, we're debating Huntington's thesis that post-Cold War conflict would be primarily between cultural/civilizational blocs. Many critics focus on political or cultural aspects, but I'm interested in an economic-philosophical critique. Does globalization and economic interdependence undermine his thesis (as liberal institutionalists argue)? Or do economic disparities and resource competition actually reinforce civilizational fault lines? Can concepts like "dependency theory," "global public goods," or "cosmopolitan capitalism" provide a better explanatory framework for 21st-century conflict?
