Kampf der Kulturen und gerechter Frieden
Samuel Huntingtons These zwischen Identitatspolitik und Friedensethik
edited by Sarah Jager and Eberhard Pausch
German description: 1996 erschien Samuel P. Huntingtons Buch Der Kampf der Kulturen. Im Deutschen sind die Begriffe Kultur und Zivilisation fast deckungsgleich. Huntington vertritt vor diesem Hintergrund drei Hauptthesen: (1) Kultur zahlt. (2) Jede Kultur hat eine eigene, unverwechselbare Identitat. (3) Wenn Kulturen aufeinanderprallen, ist der Friede gefahrdet. Aber gibt es wirklich die je eigenen, unverwechselbaren Identitaten von Kulturen? Das ware eine Form von Essentialismus. Im Gegenteil scheint die Welt ein Gewebe von inter- und transkulturellen Beziehungen zu sein. Daher lasst sich Frieden jedenfalls dann gewinnen oder bewahren, wenn diese Beziehungen auf der Grundlage von multilateralen Gesprachen (Dialogen oder Polylogen) gepflegt werden. Mit Beitrager von Ulrike Auga, Lukas Bormann, Ursula Buttner, Christopher Daase, Sarah Jager, Eberhard Pausch, Wolfgang Prawitz, Eva Senghaas-Knobloch, Sylvie Thonak, Annette Weidhas und Simone Wisotzki. English summary: In 1996 Samuel P. Huntington published his controversial book The Clash of Civilizations. In German, the word civilization is almost synonymous with culture. On this basis, Huntington submits at least three main theses: (1) Culture counts, (2) Cultures are based on different identities, (3) In the future peace is threatened by conflicts between cultures. One cannot deny that culture counts yet it is not obvious that cultures consist of totally different identities which do not overlap one another. Such a concept would be a form of essentialism. On the contrary, cultures only exist in form of inter- and transcultural relations. To win or to keep peace it is necessary, therefore, to strengthen these relations by dialogues and polylogues.
