Abstract

This study, entitled "Critique of the theory 'Clash of Civilizations'   in Arab Political Thought: Edward Said as a Model," seeks to explore the major criticisms and objections raised by Arab thinkers and scholars in general—and by Edward Said in particular—against Samuel Huntington’s "Clash of Civilizations" theory. Huntington’s theory attempted to predict the future of the contemporary world, asserting that the primary axis of conflict in the twenty-first century would shift from ideological and economic struggles to a conflict between civilizations.
Keywords: Clash of Civilizations, Samuel Huntington, Arab Thought, Edward Said.
