concept of civilization was triggered by Samuel
Huntington's now famous article "The Clash of
Civilizations" from 1993. I have been working on

enveloped and polarized the world for fifty years.
It was a conflict between communism and
capitalism, the Soviet Union versus the United
States. Both nations foreign policies were shaped
in order to retain and increase the influence of
their respective ideologies whilst restricting the
spread of the other. Since 9 - 11, U. S. foreign

Globalism is the biggest idea in the world right
now. Generally speaking, globalization today is a
Western idea (although other, earlier cultures
took some shots at it), fueled most recently by
technology's forging of a global economy. It's a
powerful offshoot of capitalism and popular

country, and it's become almost impossible to hear
a major political speech that doesn't mention it.
But globalization is an elusive notion. Skeptics
