Internatonal Politics and Civilizations (Clash of Civilizations and Dialogue)

It is observed that the concept of civilizations has been emphasized more within the context of international relations. In particular, after American social scientist Professor Samuel P. Huntington put forward, at the begining of 1990’s, his thesis of clash of civilizations, the necessity of dialogue among civilizations or from time to time dialogue among cultures has begun to be underlined in international forums. This approach, was directed, in principle, towards the aim of finding solutions for the problems faced by today’s world. The thought of dialogue among cultures or civilizations is originated from this environment.
