## Highlights
- The obvious extension of this is to nation-states, but I wonder if it also applies to large civilizational blocs. By defining the West as not Eastern Europe or Latin America, do we increase the chance of conflict and misunderstanding between them? I don’t know, but it seems plausible. A title like Clash of Civilization might be self-fulfilling: define a bunch of civilizations, and they will clash.
