In the 1993 Foreign Affairs article, Huntington writes:
It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic.
The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Nation states will remain the most
powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different
civilizations. The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the
future.[2]
In the end of the article, he writes:This is not to advocate the desirability of conflicts between civilizations. It is to set forth
descriptive hypothesis as to what the future may be like
