The Clash Of Civilizations - 9781635687118

In this work, Allan Trawinski will test, and disprove, the commonly held hypothesis that: 'The present West - Near East Conflict is a relatively new development (since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948), is primarily driven by religion/culture (radical Islamic fundamentalism against Christianity/Judaism), and that terrorism is employed as the Near East's primary method/weapon/tactic of choice, which could all be ended by: solving the Palestinian-Israeli (religious) problem, ending radical terrorism, becoming energy-independent, liberating the region from despots, and establishing 'prosperous economic and democratic regimes in their wakes. Consequently, he will test, and prove, his own counter-hypothesis that: 'The present West - Near East Conflict is a part of a continuous 3,275 year conflict, that is secular (geo-political/ economic), as much as, or more than, ideological (religious/cultural), in nature, and that terrorism has, only until very recently, played a relatively minor role as the Near East's primary method/weapon/tactic of choice'.
