In the aftermath of the Cold War, the world was abuzz with the idea that liberal democracy had reached its endpoint, marking the end of humanity’s ideological evolution. This notion, first proposed by Francis Fukuyama in 1992, sparked a global discussion that continued into the mid-1990s. Samuel P. Huntington, a prominent scholar, responded to Fukuyama’s ideas with his 1996 book “The Clash of Civilizations,” arguing that the temporary conflict between ideologies was being replaced by the ancient conflict between civilizations. This book explores the intersection of politics, culture, and history, raising essential questions about the nature of human society and the future of global relations. Through the lens of 1996, this book offers a unique perspective on the end of history and the dawn of a new world order.
