In the post-Cold War era, the largest military conflicts in the world mainly included the wars between the US-led Western bloc and the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq in 19, the war beginning in 2001 between the United States and its allies and the Taliban regime and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, the Bosnia-Herzegovina War from 1992 to 1995 following the disintegration of the Yugoslav Union, and the Kosovo War in 1999. However, from the end of the Cold War to the foreseeable future, international conflicts have not actually appeared to be like this. The “fault lines” between civilizations would be especially likely to erupt into violent conflicts, and the world would appear as if groups of civilizations are in confrontation with one another. Huntington’s “clash of civilizations theory” divides the world into eight civilizations, and predicts that international conflicts in the post-Cold War era will take place between them. Inexplicable International Conflicts in the Post-Cold War era.Furthermore, this theory, in terms of its world outlook level, is negative and destructive, and its negative impact on the building of a new world political and economic order cannot be ignored. It neither foresaw the form of international conflicts in the post-Cold War era, nor did it clarify the general trends of the era. In fact, Huntington himself has repeatedly emphasized that this theory is a simplification and has its limitations, but, “as a simple model of global politics, it accounted for more important phenomena than any of its rivals.” In this article, I argue that, precisely with respect to accounting for the most important phenomena of the post-Cold War era, the “clash of civilizations” is an erroneous theory. Researcher and Deputy Director of the Institute of European Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Director of the Marxism and European Civilization Research CenterĪmong the international relations theories put forward by Western scholars in the post-Cold War era, the American political scientist Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” has been most influential, and has drawn the most criticism. What’s Wrong with the “Clash of Civilizations”? They should be expanded and adapted to changed circumstances.China Watch Vol. Consequently, American-dominated Cold War-formed institutions such as NATO are positive tools for international stability and peace. The politically prevailing view in the US today is that the US prevailed over the Soviet Union in the Cold War. The cause of US and Soviet conflict is still debated some argue it was due to mutual fear, others argue that one or the other was bent on imperial expansion, and still others argue that both were bent on imperial expansion. The Cold War established the template for international conflict between nuclear powers. The US and the USSR and their allies and clients therefore competed indirectly through competitive interference in the internal politics of third actors. This conflict was labelled cold because nuclear weapons made direct military combat between the two likely to result in mutual suicide through escalation to so-called mutual assured destruction. It began at the close of the Second World War and continuing until Soviet-installed communist regimes collapsed in Eastern Europe in 1989 and the USSR itself disintegrated in 1991. Intense bipolar international competition for influence and control between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The efficacy of this six-word story induction process is evaluated, and the extracted six-word stories are applied to cyberwar potentials during the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). These resulting six-word stories are analyzed along multiple dimensions: data sources (government, journalism, academia, and social media), expert calls-and-crowd responses, and by time periods (pre-cyberwar and cyberwar periods). The resulting inducted six-word stories are used to (1) describe and summarize the underlying textual information (to enable a bridge to a complex topic) (2) produce insights about the underlying textual information and related in-world phenomena and (3) answer particular research questions. From curated “cyberwar” text sets (from government, mainstream journalism, academia, and social media), six-word stories are computationally induced (using word frequency counts, text searches, word network analysis, word clustering, and other means), supported by post-induction human writing.
