A. Nuri Yurdusev demonstrates the relevance of a civilizational approach to the study of contemporary international relations by looking at the multi-civilizational nature of the modern international system, the competing claims of national and civilizational identities and the rise of civilizational consciousness after the Cold War.

A "must" read for any IR reader to understand the basic mechanism between civilizations, states and other units of analysis at international level. Well done, Professor!
