Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In his book "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order," Huntington argues that the future conflicts will be between cultural or civilizational blocs, which will replace the traditional concept of nation-states. He identifies seven or eight major civilizations, including Western, Islamic, Hindu, Sinic, Japanese, Orthodox, Latin American, and possibly African. Therefore, national identity will weaken in favor of larger cultural identities.
