摘要
In a globalized world, the pursuit of power politics rooted in ‘national interest’ should avoid invoking cultural or civilizational identities, particularly religion, as these can unnecessarily intensify conflicts that might otherwise remain manageable. Intellectuals, therefore, should refrain from endorsing the ‘Clash of Civilizations’, a concept often perpetuated among less-informed audiences.
