I have tried the United States and particularly the neo-conservatives, who held power under Bush Jr. to take advantage of a "clash of civilizations" theory investigation into its economic interests in the world via repositioning the balance of power even though it calls made using military forces and occupation as well as on the composition of enemies virtual according to the perceptions of that theory especially after the collapse and disintegration of the Soviet Union, for example, were employed clash of civilizations theory for access to oil resources in the Arab world under the pretext of the war on terrorism after the twin towers of world trade in the US bombings, and despite the lack of evidence of the health and the reality of that theory, but it was a way to achieve a project of the United States in strengthening its influence in the Middle East and achieve its interests in the acquisition of wealth .. Perhaps Huntington prepared his theory of clash of civilizations meet the interests of the most extreme groups in the global capitalist system and specifically the military industrial groups was divided to the world division and functionally utilitarian harnessing the political geography of the objectives of military policy, glorified the American model as a model based on liberal democracy, and this is what explains the extent of the employment of this theory in favor of the US strategy, opening new horizons in political sociology, political and anthropological towards the re-application to the fore employ those disciplines during the first stages of colonial dependence and the nature of those colonial societies culturally and religiously and differentiation as a key part in the mechanism of conflict management | ||
