Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock- Will Rogers?
People
nowadays are anticipating “Clash of civilizations” a theory which
gained popularity after Samuel Huntington’s elaboration of it. But,
Stephen Walt’s rebuttal puts things back in a positive perspective when
he says “if we treat all states that are part of some other
“civilization” as intrinsically hostile, we are likely to create enemies
that might otherwise be neutral or friendly. The Clash of
Civilizations offers a dangerous self –fulfilling prophecy: the more we
believe it and make it basis for actions, the more likely it will come
true.”
