The Payback Century
A futuristic scenario for the future of middle eastThe next installment in the theory of “The Clash of Civilizations”: “The Clash of Sects” Samuel Huntington’s controversial theory known as the “Clash of Civilizations” has attracted worldwide attention since the day it was published. Following the publication of his thesis, which argues that conflict in the post-Cold War world is cultural rather than ideological and/or economic, discussions about real-world politics have centered on this theme, including debates about such significant issues as the Greater Middle East Project and so on. Huntington’s theories have been taken by the people of the world to represent the plans and wishes of American foreign policy. The well-known researcher Ibrahim Karagul, who published his interpretation of a new scenario in May 2007, interprets this new plan as the “Second Step in the Clash of Civilizations.”
