"Clash of Civilizations" by Samuel P. Huntington It's remarkable how universal this book is, despite being written long ago. It changed my perspective on the West-centric world.
…right now are China and Russia, who must surely see a new system of regional powers operating in their own spheres, not a single global power which is apparently a historical fiction. The excellent book, Clash of Civilizations predicted this move to regional powers versus the 50's simple East/West divide, along with many other current events we see now. It was written 30 years ago.

…the historicity of Islam. There is a very sad and shortsighted movement in some corners of military scholarship right now that identifies Islam itself as the enemy, often beginning with Huntington's "clash of civilizations" narrative and ending with some examples of sheer lunacy, such as the recent article by a West Point associate professor arguing that legal human rights scholars are "an Islamist fifth column."

…me 15-20 years ago when thanks to the Internet I started to interact with Americans. At the end Western is a code word for White dominated places or sometimes just Anglo. This came from Huntington's Clash of Civilizations a profoundly ignorant work. As you wrote you can live in Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo or Mexico City, huge cosmopolitan places, maybe you have some recent relatives who came from Italy or Spain or Portugal,…

塞缪尔·P·亨廷顿的《文明的冲突》。这本书哪怕写了这么久，其普适性依旧令人惊叹。它彻底改变了我看待以西方为中心的世界的视角。

……眼下正是中国和俄罗斯，他们肯定看到了一个在其各自势力范围内运作的区域大国新体系，而不是某种显然属于历史虚构的单一全球霸权。亨廷顿的力作《文明的冲突》早在30年前写就，就成功预言了这种走向区域大国的趋势，打破了50年代简单的东西方阵营划分，还预言了我们今天看到的许多其他时事。

……伊斯兰教的历史性。眼下在军事学术界的某些角落，存在着一种非常可悲且短视的思潮，直接把伊斯兰本身视为敌人。这往往始于亨廷顿“文明冲突”的论调，最终演变成一些彻头彻尾的荒唐言论，比如西点军校一位副教授最近发文，声称人权法律学者是“伊斯兰主义的第五纵队”。伊斯兰……

……让我想起15到20年前，因为有了互联网，我开始和美国人交流。说到底，“西方”不过是被白人主导地区、或者有时纯粹是“盎格鲁”的一个暗号代名词。这套说法出自亨廷顿的《文明的冲突》，一本极其无知的书。正如你所写，你可以住在布宜诺斯艾利斯、圣保罗或墨西哥城这种国际化大都市，家里可能还有不久前才从意大利、西班牙或葡萄牙移民过来的亲戚，……
