As the Dialogue of Civilizations Research Institute (DOC RI) marks its second anniversary this July, building off of 16 years of heritage as the World Public Forum, we also mark the anniversary of one of the most influential and controversial publications of the late 20th century: Samuel Huntington’s ‘Clash of Civilizations’. The aim of this roundtable is to examine and account for extant understandings of the ‘clash of civilisations’ concept that have developed over the last two decades, and to continue our discussion on the urgency of ‘dialogue of civilizations’.
