THE CLASH AND DIALOGUE BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONS IN THE ERA OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER

Abstract

     The heightened interest in the concepts of dialogue and cultural conflict has increased in this era, with issues of cultural and civilizational dialogue and conflict becoming a central focus for a significant number of thinkers and researchers, spanning various specialties and intellectual currents. There appears to be a constant interaction between civilizational conflict and dialogue, as conflict takes the place of dialogue in times of regression, and vice versa when dialogue flourishes.

The idea of dialogue and civilizational conflict emerged in response to the concept of "Clash of Civilizations" proposed and defended by Samuel Huntington. The civilizational dialogue is considered an alternative that demonstrates that civilizations are capable of interaction and exchange instead of the expected clash.

In this context, societies engage in the exchange of their common and diverse concerns, which may lead to conflicts and battles negatively affecting relations between nations and peoples. In an era of immense technological progress and instant communication, the world appears as a small village influenced by a new Western dominance, with the impact of prevailing ideas carrying implications and dimensions at the global level.
