ThinkChina Roundtable Discussion: The Clash of Civilizations and Terrorism - Imagination or Reality

The term "civilization" in the theory of the Clash of Civilizations include religion, ethnicity, nationality and other factors. Originally, this theory is a reflection of American domestic political situation. The Clash of Civilizations is a result of civilizations being challenged rather than that of differences between civilizations; a contradiction between monotheism and polytheism rather than a conflict between Islam and Christianity. Terrorism is a kind of conflict between civilized world and ideological barbarism while its classification and features have close relationship to differences of civilizations.

Venue: NIAS-Nordic Institute for Asian Studies (meeting room), CSS 18.1 (Entrance E), Øster Farimagsgade 5, Copenhagen, Denmark.
