THE CONFLICT OF CIVILIZATIONS - IS IT MYTH OR REALITY?
Öz
As soon as the bipolar system of the global order collapsed, all of a sudden on a scene of a history appeared a star called “a phenomenon of civilizations”. This phenomenon became the most discussed issue because previously it remained behind a veil of two systems. As soon as the veil of bipolar system of the global order was taken off of “a phenomenon of civilizations”, it became the center of gravity for intellectuals and politicians in their searches of the decision for the current problems of the present time as well as the ones that will exist for the mankind in the future. The American intellectual elite, as is it known, has set the tone to this kind of discussions on the subject. It is also worth mentioning that the greatest resonance in all corners of the world was caused by the concepts which were put forward by the American researchers F. Fukuyama and S. Huntington. The essence of the concept of F. Fukuyama entitled «The End of History» is that after the disappearance of a bipolar system as a global order, there has come an era of undivided power of western liberal and to be more correct – neo-liberal civilization, which is capable to solve all the problems – economic, social and cultural, that were tormenting the mankind from the beginning of the times. Therefore, the neo-liberal civilization is a crown of a history. It, in its own way, concludes the process of historical development of the mankind.
