Clash of civilizations

in a loose sense of the term

in the exact sense of the term

at a microscale

clash of civilisations is about culture, identity and annihilation. huntington was just picturing it at a global scale, from a (still) methodological nationalist frame

These Eastern Europeans (Yes, I know, crude generalization.)

At the micro-scale there has always been similar phenomena at one time or another, I reserve that term for Huntington's thesis
