Description
Summary:A reply to Russett, Oneal, & Cox ([RO&C] 2000), who claim that militarized interstate disputes serve to test a hypothesis furthered by Huntington (1996) regarding civilization clashes, posits that they are mistaken. It is argued that the original hypothesis concerned post-Cold War politics, while RO&C analyze mostly Cold War politics. In addition, the data set used by RO&C is deemed limited & temporally irrelevant. The hypothesis is concerned with the escalation dynamics of intercivilizational conflicts, not the frequency of such conflicts, as focused on by RO&C. It is concluded that the RO&C article does not address Huntington's central thesis. 3 References. T. Noland
